Laboratory Twinning Feedback Workshop

Project

Laboratory Twinning Feedback Workshop

The WOAH Laboratory Twinning Programme has been in place since 2006 and aims to improve global capacity for disease prevention, detection, and control through capacity building and networking. The programme enables WOAH to use its network of Reference Laboratories and Collaborating Centres to assist “Candidate” institutes wishing to improve their capacity and scientific expertise. The aim is to strengthen national and regional laboratories capabilities, and for some of the Candidate institutes to become WOAH Reference Laboratories and Collaborating Centres for the benefit of their country and region. The main objectives of the workshop are to:

  • Collect feedback from institutes participating in WOAH Laboratory twinnings in relation to the short and long-term repercussions of the project.
  • Understand which factors affect the sustainability of the outputs of the twinning in the long-term.
  • Collate best practices to ensure longer term sustainability of the twinning.
  • Assess how WOAH can support the creation of networks amongst candidate laboratories.
  • Determine what the “minimum requirements” that a Candidate Institute should have in place are to ensure the successful foundations of a twinning project.
  • Discuss synergy with other initiatives (PVS, other twinnings etc.)
  • Review the indicators of success of Twinning, i.e., beyond establishment of a WOAH reference centre.
