Course information
A JEE contributes to the monitoring and evaluation of core capacities under the IHR. It is a key component under the IHR Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (IHR MEF). A self-evaluation by the country is followed by an assessment by an independent JEE team. The assessment is done using a standardized tool that assesses 19 technical areas across 4 domains: prevent, detect, respond, and other hazards and points of entry.
The JEE final report is a complex and comprehensive document that requires a high level of technical writing skills, as well as coordination and collaboration among the JEE team members and the report writer. The report writer plays a key role in the JEE process and is responsible for compiling, synthesising, and editing the content of the report, as well as drafting the executive summary and supporting the debriefing presentation. The report writer should have a clear understanding of the JEE methodology, the draft terms of reference (TOR) for the report writer's role, and the expectations and timelines for the report writing process.
Course duration: Approximately 1 hour.
