Fight Against Global Pandemics (End Case)
Q1. Assuming that the same
characteristics apply to a program and project: what are the characteristics of
Global Avian Influenza Program which makes it an international program?
Complexity: Dealing with a variety of factors especially
when dealing with multiple stakeholders that have different interests and
geographically spread can be considered as an international characteristic.
Risk: Operating a program like this in a third world
country can face a sudden political change that might affect the whole process
achieving the strategy.
Uniqueness: I believe that an international project or program
shall always be unique.
Q2. Who are the main stakeholders in the Global Program
on the Avian Influenza?
Main stakeholders that can be identified are :
1- World Bank
2- United Nations
3- Food and
Agriculture Organization
4- World Health
Organization Health
5- Global Program
for Avian Influenza
6- Governments
7- national institutions
Q3. What are the
success criteria for this international program?
International programs in general like
these knows no borders. In this case, successful international programs depend
on the extent to which outcomes are achieved. Strategies
shall be controlled and developed for continuous review, and information about the
disease and research findings from the
field must be collected and updated. Also, essential coordination, cooperation, and
support are needed to ensure the program consistency, resources use, and
information sharing between countries. To develop and implement any involved country's specific
disease control plan, working in partnership with national institutions is a
major start.
Policy and strategy implementation within a country
must be assessed to make sure that they are economically and socially
acceptable and sustainable. Hence, there will be many gaps and obstacles
obstructing the success of this international program. Because many of the
countries involved are infected or at risk of being infected have unsuitable health systems, and due to corrupted systems, there will be weak and unfair participation of producers, stakeholders or
resources that are wanted to accumulate effectively and controlled programs.
