The operation of the Integrated Analysis Cell (CAI) and the Integrated Outbreak Analytics (IOA) approach

  • The Integrated Analysis Cell (CAI) is an operational analytics unit in the DRC that helps stakeholders (Ministry of Health and all partners) to better understand health dynamics and trends (epidemics and others).

  • The aim of the CAI is to provide evidence to support response actors and stakeholders in developing programmes or adapting existing strategies to ensure maximum impact

  • Recommendations arising from CAI analyses are co-developed with communities and all stakeholders (civil society, local health actors, NGOs and UN as well as donors) to ensure implementation is monitored over time and by location and public health concern
