Global Laboratory Leadership Programme (GLLP) Training

The GLLP is a WHO initiative based on the Laboratory Leadership Competency Framework that aims to harmonize and build global consensus on critical laboratory leadership competencies applicable across all laboratories with public health impact. Laboratories, and their capacity to rapidly test and diagnose illness, food safety, and contamination, are essential.

Specialized training for laboratory leaders, such as the Global Laboratory Leadership Programme, support a country’s ability to respond to future outbreaks and health emergencies.

The review of the GLLP learning materials is complete and the materials are currently being tested in more than 10 pilots across the globe to ensure their fitness for purpose and make any necessary changes to incorporate the animal health laboratory perspective and/or a more integrated, One Health approach. WOAH and APHA staff specialised in One Health activities are currently reviewing the testing version to ensure that Tripartite outputs like the Tripartite Guide to Addressing Zoonotic Diseases in Countries and the Joint Risk Assessment Operational Tool are fully referenced, aligned, and leveraged. This activity will be presented in conjunction with the National Focal Point Training for Laboratories (Africa).

Opportunities to sponsor participants to join sub-regional GLLP programmes driven by the WHO AFRO regional office: other GLLP partners in the Africa region are being sought out.

Outreach with WOAH Members’ Veterinary Services on the GLLP is underway in the region to ensure participation and benefit for veterinary laboratory leaders is optimal and engagement of VS from the earliest stages of planning alongside human health laboratory partners, as these are principle targets for WOAH’s involvement in the programme.
