March workshop set for Nairobi will be virtual
Due to rapidly evolving containment efforts and travel restrictions in response to COVID-19, READY is reconfiguring its East Africa Outbreak Preparedness Planning (OPP) workshop. The workshop will still take place from March 9–11, 2020, but it will be facilitated entirely online.
Knowing that COVID-19 readiness is top-of-mind for many of us, we are also amending the workshop content: It will focus exclusively on NGO readiness for the COVID-19 pandemic, aligned with key pillars within WHO’s COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan, including staff safety and wellness, business continuity, and risk communication and community engagement.
Participants should amend or cancel any travel arrangements they may have already made, and will find revised workshop objectives and a condensed agenda on READY’s community of practice forum.

Tovuti hii imewezekana kwa msaada wa Watu wa Marekani kupitia Shirika la Maendeleo ya Kimataifa la Marekani (USAID) chini ya mpango wa TAYARI. READY (sio kifupi) inaungwa mkono na USAID Ofisi ya Demokrasia, Migogoro, na Usaidizi wa Kibinadamu, Ofisi ya Msaada wa Maafa ya Kigeni ya Marekani (OFDA) na inaongozwa na Okoa Watoto kwa kushirikiana na Kituo cha Johns Hopkins cha Afya ya Kibinadamu,, Kituo cha Johns Hopkins cha Mipango ya Mawasiliano, UK-Med, Muungano wa EcoHealth, na Rehema Malaysia. Yaliyomo kwenye tovuti hii ni jukumu pekee la Save the Children. Maelezo yaliyotolewa kwenye tovuti hii si lazima yaakisi maoni ya USAID, washirika wowote au wote wa muungano, au Serikali ya Marekani, na si taarifa rasmi ya Serikali ya Marekani.
