Global Epidemiology Policy and Planning

STRENGTHS

Availability of resources: In Afghanistan, the efforts put in place by the programs will increase resource allocation to deal with the problems. Besides, it will be easier for the program to seek financial support from World Health Organizations, Afghan National Public Health Institute, Health Protection and Research Organization, General Directorate of Animal Health and Production and Dutch Committee for Afghanistan (One Health Network, 2012).

Trained personnel Technical proficient: the people involved have a desire for helping people. Members efforts are worth and they stand together to acquire a statewide impact (Wallace, Braden, & Gregory, 2002). Here you are saying that they have trained but on the weakness you are referring that there is no capacity.

Information sharing: Availability of information infrastructure will facilitate effective communicate on the issues increasing exposure and determine appropriate means of mitigating the problem.

Access to data: The program will help in easily accessing data about the prevention strategies of the problem and well as means used by other states to mitigate Brucellosis diseases.

Existence of laboratories: the country will utilize the laboratories to conduct experiments and research on effective ways of reducing Brucellosis disease exposure and prevention measures.

Diversity: The program contains people from different regions hence their expertise, resources and experience are combined easily.

WEAKNESSES

Inadequate guidance and coordination efforts: Coordination of individual from the country will be necessary to the progress of the program. The Program is likely to experience lack of coordination and guidance as balancing leadership is difficult for people coming from different areas..

Lack of adequate staff with particular enteric disease expertise: The program will experience lack of specific disease expertise since handling the problem requires technical expertise Akbarian et al., 2015).

Incomplete analysis of data: Analysis and studies conducted can focus on particular areas and fail to address the problem in other area. The problem emanate from diverse areas that need to be studied by the group. The program may focus on particular areas that are well represented.???? What do you mean here?

Political interference: the country often experience political instability and wars which may affect the program from succeeding.

Competing demand: Members in the programs are individuals working in other organization with different mandates. The program is likely to experience limited time, space and money to schedules for the Program.

OPPORTUNITIES

Possibility of funding: the group has high chances of receiving financial support from WHO and other Organization due to their efforts.

New Communication Channels: Advanced technology hence in new communication channels such as use of social networks including Twitter and Facebook. Use of New communication channels helps in information sharing more frequently than use of face-to-face communication strategies.

Advanced researches on management and preventions of the disease: the availability of increase laboratories will increase advanced researches on the disease of prevention measures.

Partnership: the program has the likelihood of engaging in partnership with world organization such as WHO and other relevant organizations.

THREATS

Development of other surveillance and programs with duplicated goals: Successful intervention of the programs may result to other organizations developing with a similar goal hence begin to compete for the surveillance.

High turnover of the participants: members will like their views to be embraced in the programs. In cases there are not listen to, they are likely to withdraw from the program.

Relatively low emphasis on funding as compared to other major programs: the Government is likely to focus on other major programs before funding the intervention hence the groups will encounter economic hardships.

Economic hard times: In case of strains in the economy the country will hinder the attainment of the goal of the programs.

Access to education of Brucellosis disease: Zoonotic disease infections fail to reach specific groups thus making it difficult for their prevention and surveillance.
