- National Inventory of Core Capabilities for Pandemic Influenza Preparedness and Response
The National Inventory of Core Capabilities for Pandemic Influenza Preparedness and Response (National Inventory) has been used in more than 40 countries to document select capabilities at a single point in time, and determine progress toward enhanced preparedness over time. For each of the 12 capabilities included in the National Inventory, key indicators address the coverage, timeliness, or quality of specific public health functions. The tool complements WHO guidelines by providing information to guide ongoing investment in preparedness and response; inform strategic and program planning across pandemic phases; and review logistic and operational needs, and address deficiencies according to available resources.
