STRIVE PNG – Stronger Surveillance for Vector-borne Pathogens
STRIVE PNG aims to strengthen Papua New Guinea’s vector-borne disease surveillance and outbreak response capacity by strengthening partnerships and developing innovative approaches to surveillance and response. The STRIVE PNG uses a partnership-based approach involving joint decision-making, co-design of activities, shared resource contribution and mutual accountability. The STRIVE PNG Steering Committee ensures the project aligns with national and regional priorities and provides high-level oversight and advocacy.
