SUMMARY:Toxicological Outbreak Investigation and Disaster Epidemiology Training/Workshop For Southern Africa
DESCRIPTION:Southern Africa Region Profile\nSouthern Africa AFENET region is diverse and is known for its rich cultural heritage\, varied landscapes\, and significant natural resources. Major countries include South Africa\, Namibia\, Botswana\, Zimbabwe\, Zambia\, Lesotho\, Eswatini\, Mozambique\, Malawi and Angola. The region has a mixed economy with agriculture\, mining and tourism as vital sectors. South Africa is the largest economy\, known for its mining and manufacturing industries. \nHealth challenges and natural disasters significantly impact communities in this region. High prevalence rates of HIV/AIDS particularly in countries like South Africa and Botswana continue to strain healthcare systems. The other significant health challenge is that of Tuberculosis (TB). The region has some of the highest TB rates globally\, often compounded by HIV co-infection. \nNatural disasters pose significant risks to communities and economies in this region. Key types include drought\, floods\, cyclones\, fires and desertification which affects arable land\, reducing agricultural productivity and leading to food insecurity. Particularly impacts communities reliant on farming. These disasters require effective disaster preparedness and response strategies to mitigate their impacts on vulnerable populations. \nRecently\, southern Africa experienced several significant disasters including cyclone Idai (2019) which struck Mozambique\, Zimbabwe and Malawi\, causing widespread flooding and displacement. It resulted in over 1000 deaths and significant infrastructure damage. Furthermore\, prolonged droughts have affected countries like Zimbabwe and South Africa\, leading to severe water shortages and food insecurity\, particularly in 2019 and 2020. These disasters highlight the region’s vulnerability to climate related events and the need for improved disaster preparedness and resilience strategies. \nThe CDC’s National Center for Environmental Health\, Health Studies Team (HST) mission is to prevent exposure to and disease from non-infectious environmental hazards by building environmental epidemiologic capacity needed for public health action\, providing evidence-based information on the potential impact of environmental hazards on human health\, and by responding to environmental public health emergencies. \nTo help public health agencies investigate toxic outbreaks and developing public health workshop for disaster preparedness and response\, the HST developed an environmental toxic outbreak investigation and disaster epidemiology trainings. These trainings course is flexible to meet the needs of various audiences both for domestic and international audience. \nCourse Goal\nThe goals of the Toxic Outbreak and Disaster Epidemiology Course are to provide information\, resources\, and learning activities to help public health practitioners\, Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) fellows gain the knowledge and skills needed to investigate a toxicological outbreak and respond to natural or human-induced disasters. \nTarget Audience\nThe target audience includes public health practitioners\, FETP fellows\, emergency managers who investigate outbreaks\, or respond to disasters in Southern Africa region \nCourse duration\nThe course duration will vary depending on the modules that are included and the delivery format. The suggested course duration for a facilitator-led delivery of all modules\, which allows for group process and discussion\, is approximately 7 days. We will do a modified version of the full course (5 days) if there is time or fund limitation  \nPartner\nThe training workshop will be organized in partnership with African Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET) Southern Africa Regional Office . Selected public health practitioners and FETP fellows from Angola\, Botswana\, Mozambique\, Zambia\, Namibia\, Zimbabwe and South Africa will be invited to participate. An additional invited guest from West African region will also participate. \nPlace and date\nTo Be Determined \nFunding  \nThe funds to cover local costs such as venue\, stationaries\, and participants travel expenses etc. will be provided by the US CDC through a cooperative agreement with AFENET. \nNCEH/HSS Subject Mater Expertise (SMES) \n\nThree SMEs from NCEH/HST will travel to deliver the training.\nHST will cover the travel expenses of NCEH/HST SMEs\n\nLogistics  \n\nThe AFENET\, Southern Africa Regional office in liaison with SAFETP will be responsible for fund management\, organizing the workshop including securing the venue\, inviting the participants\, writing the final report etc.\nCourse size: 25–30 participants\nA/V equipment needed: computer with PowerPoint©\, projector\, and screen\nMaterials: copies of participant workbook\, toolkit\, pens\, flip chart\, and markers
