GHD|EMPHNET's collaboration with Tunisia's Ministry of Health (MoH) was officially announced with the signing of a partnership agreement in September 2017 on the same day that the National Observatory for Emerging and Re-emerging Diseases (ONMNE), on behalf of Tunisia MoH, officially launched the GHD|EMPHNET-supported Tunisia Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP). The Tunisia FETP is a one-year training program created to strengthen capacities of the public health workforce in disease detection, outbreak investigations, as well preparedness and response to public health threats.
Alongside its support to the Tunisia FETP, GHD|EMPHNET is also working with its partners in the country on other areas, namely rapid response teams (RRTs) training and biorisk management. In the area of biorisk management, GHD|EMPHNET is conducting a regional biosecurity and biosafety management symposium. GHD|EMPHNET’s role within this symposium comes in the form of a collaboration with the Libya National Center for Disease Control and the Tunisia Ministry of Environment and Local Affairs. The collective effort of all parties involved is expected to result in the implementation of the biosafety and biosecurity best practices. This collaboration was executed through a twinning initiative between relevant parties in Libya and Tunisia who worked to share experiences, particularly related to the use of Tunisian facilities which are well-developed in terms of biosafety, biosecurity, risk assessment and mitigation strategies. In RRT training, GHD|EMPHNET and the MoH managed to conduct large-scale RRT training workshops in 2017 and 2018, targeting Tunisia's twenty-four governorates.
With escalation of conflict in Libya, an influx of refugees is expected to move to neighboring countries, mainly Tunisia. This cross-border movement poses significant risks on public health and spread of diseases which is expected to impact both countries’ populations. Starting in July 2020, GHD|EMPHNET will provide the needed support and coaching to Libyan and Tunisian MoHs and other cross-border related staff to update and/or develop their joint cross border public health emergency response operational plan that addresses the ongoing crisis in Libya.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Africa CDC has recently launched the Partnership to Accelerate COVID-19 Testing (PACT) initiative in August 2020. PACT aims to strengthen the capacity for testing COVID-19 across Africa, with emphasis on countries that have only minimal capacity. GHD|EMPHNET in collaboration with the African Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET) signed a contract to spearhead rolling out and implementation of a community contact tracing strategy that will specifically support contact tracing efforts and other surveillance functions in general within the context of COVID-19 response in Africa Union member states in North Africa including Tunisia.
