The IHR Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (IHRMEF) considers Joint External Evaluation (JEE) a critical priority. The JEE and the National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS) is a country owned, multi-year, planning process that can accelerate the implementation of IHR core capacities, and is based on a One Health approach and whole-of-government approach for all hazards. It captures national priorities for health security, brings sectors together, identifies partners and allocates resources for health security capacity development. Also, the NAPHS provides an overarching process to capture all ongoing preparedness initiatives in a country along with a country’s governance mechanism for emergency and disaster risk management. WHO has developed the NAPHS Framework, which is a flexible, 3-step approach to help countries plan and implement priority actions to attain health security. It builds on and refers to all existing policies, agreements, strategies and frameworks at national, regional and global levels and is designed to be used by countries to facilitate multisectoral planning. The framework emphasizes the importance of alignment and integration with the country’s national health strategic plan as well as other relevant national sectoral plans in the development and implementation of NAPHS. The implementation of NAPHS requires regular monitoring and evaluation of its implementation and identification of critical gaps to address. The consultant has concluded work on resource mapping of the 36 states and FCT but not concluded for the Federal level stakeholders; critical partners at federal level remain to be mapped and the dashboard is a critical input for the Mid-term JEE proposed by the NCDC to hold in November 2019.
