Dear SEAPREID,
I am working for a South Asia regional project implemented by FAO as the Regional Epidemiology Centre Coordinator to build capacities and networking in epi in the region. We are exploring to conduct a week long training in PE focusing on disease surveillance and monitoring for the relevant focal vets from the 8 Member States, tentatively during late January 2017 in Kathmandu, Nepal for around 16 trainees. We are looking for a PE expert to deliver the actual course. I am contacting your network to find a suitable and affordable expert for the same. All logistics and some other technical support will be provided by the project staff.
Please feel free to contact me for further information.
With Best Regards
