Indonesia - Community-Based Avian Influenza Control (CBAIC) Project

The Indonesian government's workshop on Pandemic Preparedness Plans (PPP) was held August 2007 hosted and sponsored by KOMNAS/FBPI (Indonesian National Committee for Avian Influenza Control and Pandemic Influenza Preparedness). Among the participants were representatives from USAID, WHO, UNICEF, and AusAID. Presentations and follow-up discussions focused on the essential elements of a PPP, key findings from the meta-analysis of 45 PPPs worldwide, the role of the private sector in an influenza pandemic, and critical community-level issues encountered in mitigating pandemic influenza.

Workshop participants worked in small groups to develop key components of the plan, reviewing and developing elements including:

Surveillance and detection
Isolation, quarantine, and protection
Public health and treatment
Business continuity and critical infrastructure
Rehabilitation and recovery
Communication needs and priorities
Role of the community

The workshop ended with discussion of common themes and next steps. Over the following months, this initial framework will be developed into a more detailed plan, then shared, discussed, and operationalized to better prepare the public and private sectors for a possible pandemic outbreak.
