| Summary: | This toolkit draws on the expertise of
public health practitioners who have experience with public
health surveillance and who have recognized the core role of
surveillance in public health. These practitioners have
advocated for surveillance programs, supplied innovative
ideas, and provided insightful critiques over many years.
This toolkit also draws on the experience of Bank staff and
technical experts from the PAHO and the CDC who have
contributed to Bank missions. The toolkit also makes use of
WHO references, primarily those from the WHO s Web site.
Part A of this toolkit provides some theoretical concepts,
and knowledge about surveillance that has been gained
through applying these concepts and the practice of
surveillance in developing countries. Part B provides
information that will be useful to Task Managers as they
prepare loans for strengthening public health surveillance
systems. Several World Bank experiences are shared. The
focus of part B is on practical aspects of surveillance and
on lessons learned. |
