How PASB will deliver

Key Technical Cooperation Interventions
 

  • Step up leadership
    • Increase access to interventions against zoonotic diseases, especially to prevent transmission from infected animals to people, and against snake/arthropod envenoming, with a One Health approach.
  • Support countries
    • Implement and/or scale up interventions to increase civil society participation in HIV, TB, and viral hepatitis response toward elimination, including service provision.
    • Develop and strengthen country capacities to monitor AMR in bloodstream infections; foster implementation of antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention and control programs aimed at containing AMR; and promote behavior change based on a better knowledge of AMR under the One Health approach.
    • Provide technical cooperation and support Member States to develop and implement effective strategies to increase vaccination coverage, especially for hard-to-reach populations and communities, and continue activities to control, eradicate, and eliminate vaccine-preventable diseases.
    • Provide technical cooperation and support Member States to build capacities to integrate the Global Strategy on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) into their NID interventions as a means of accelerating and sustaining progress on neglected tropical diseases.

    • Implement strategies for control of domestic infestation by the main triatomine vector species or by the substitute vector. In addition, continue to foster capacity at country level for the prevention of blood transmission of Chagas disease and for management and clinical care of chronic patients. 


       

  • Produce technical products on norms and standards, data, and research
    • Develop and implement interventions to strengthen national food control systems, with a multisectoral approach, to prevent foodborne illnesses, including infections produced by resistant pathogens.
