Abstract
General: The project is multisectoral strategy that aims to swiftly address cholera outbreaks by targeting persons at the highest risk of infection who reside close to new cases. It will help improve community surveillance, early detection, and initiation of prompt response for cases identified. The project will also train health workers and community volunteers to detect symptoms consistent with other key diseases of public health importance including Monkeypox, Anthrax, and Marburg.
