  • To establish regional partnerships to enhance training and disease surveillance and containment initiatives; and
  • To strengthen the core capacities required by the World Health Organization’s International Health Regulations and existing national measures consistent with the obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) and UNSCR 1540 to deter, prevent, and respond to biological incidents or threats.
