WHO South-East Asia Region (SEAR) 2011-2012

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funds eight non-research bilateral influenza cooperative agreements in the South-East Asia Region (SEAR). Cooperative agreements with Ministries of Health (MOH) or institutions designated by the MOH build capacity to routinely identify, diagnose and respond to seasonal, avian and pandemic influenza.

CDC direct country support via cooperative agreements is established in the following countries:

Four of the countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Thailand) were awarded sustainability grants and are in varying stages of completion. The new grants support the countries for a second five years. Countries are expected to do the following: create and implement a sustainability plan that phases out U.S. government funding, develop and maintain a surveillance system that allows countries to rapidly detect, identify and respond to seasonal, novel and pandemic influenza, and participate in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS).
