Targets & Measurement
USAID's GHS program contributes to the United States' commitment to assist at least 50 countries and use catalytic leadership to work with key donors and partners to support at least 50 additional countries to achieve "Demonstrated Capacity" (80% of achievement on the WHO International Health Regulations monitoring scale) or comparable level in at least five technical areas critical to the country by 2025 (as measure by relevant health security assessments such as the Joint External Evaluation (JEE). This commitment is consistent with the overarching target of the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) multilateral initiative and the G7's goal to achieve the same objective (demonstrated capacity in five technical areas in 100 countries). The GHSA works to build collaborations that accelerate and advocate for the achievement of these capacities.
Our programs in achieving these goals will be measured through internationally accepted metrics, especially benchmarks within the JEE IHR monitoring tool, including countries' ability to achieve the 7-1-7 outbreak detection and response goals for major outbreaks.
