Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Consultancy for the Further Development of the Knowledge-Sharing Portal for Zika and Other Arboviruses

Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) such as those caused by viruses and parasites which are transmitted to humans, mainly by mosquitoes, are a major threat to the health and economies of societies globally. Over 80% of the world-s population is at risk of contracting a VBD with mosquito borne diseases (MBDs) having the greatest impact[1]. MBDs such as Malaria, Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika are diseases that account for approximately 17% of the estimated global burden of infectious diseases, with approximately 700, 000 attributable deaths each year.

The epidemic of Zika (2016), Chikungunya (2014) and other mosquito-borne disease threats show the need to have robust regional health security systems, especially since many CMS depend on tourism as a major source of revenue. (The total direct losses to the tourism sector due to Zika is estimated at approximately US$1.8 billion, or 0.21% of Gross Domestic Product for the 2015-2017 period.) The possibility of an outbreak of Dengue-3 within the Region is quite possible since that particular serotype has not been in circulation for a while, resulting in the build-up of susceptible populations. There is therefore a need to strengthen the public health workforce and surveillance systems in the region to detect and respond to these public health threats.
