Description: In 2014, CDC-Ethiopia started supporting the Government of Ethiopia to build Ethiopia&#8217;s capacity to achieve the International Health Regulation (IHR) targets through implementing the Global Health Security Agenda. The initial roadmap was developed with multisector partners in 2015, and the multi-sector collaboration has proved successful as over 500 people have been trained in field epidemiology; a national public health emergency operations center exists for outbreak; and diagnostic and surveillance capacity has increased to respond to emerging disease threats. Ethiopia was the second country to conduct a joint external assessment (JEE) and has completed a costed National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS). EPHI led the multisector partners in both of these initiatives. The strategic focus areas of CDC&#8217;s work to achieve Ethiopia&#8217;s IHR compliance are the following: Laboratory Workforce Development Surveillance Emergency Management
