The READY initiative held this one-hour webinar to launch our recently published guidance, Uratibu wa Mwitikio wa Mlipuko wa Magonjwa ya Kuambukiza: Mwongozo wa Utangulizi kwa Mashirika Yasiyo ya Kiserikali.. The purpose of this guide is to help national and international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) better understand the basic elements of outbreak response coordination in major disease outbreaks.

This webinar showcased an expert panel discussion on the opportunities and barriers for humanitarian actors working at the national and sub-national levels to meaningfully engage with outbreak response coordination. Bringing together global, national, and sub-national perspectives and expertise, panelists discussed the role of NGOs in outbreak response, how they can most effectively navigate outbreak response coordination mechanisms, and how to effectively contribute to nationally-led responses.
