emergency management capacity development globally. It helps countries 
to prepare for, anticipate, and respond to all forms of public health 
threats. GEMCD's mission is to build resilient Public Health Emergency 
Management (PHEM) programs throughout the world.

will use the PHEM Tool to guide an in-person interview with GHSA 
countries Ministry of Health, Public Health Emergency Operations Center 
(PHEOC) Manager, and optional additional staff, to characterize the 
country's PHEM program and capabilities. EMTAs will document responses 
in an excel based form that will be entered into and maintained in the
