1.6 Description / Background(optional)
In a narrative, describe project context and background. What is the business need that gave rise to this project? Describe the business drivers that created the problem, opportunity or business requirement.Examples: regulatory issues, outdated technology or technological advance, customer request.
1.7 Objectives
The overall aim of this videoconference is to promote regional information sharing and collaboration to enhance preparedness against pandemic influenza. In order to improve preparedness regionally, it is vital to understand how each economy in the region is undertaking preparedness. Specifically, EINet's proposed aims are to:
1. Bring together economies in a dynamic, real-time discussion on preparedness through the collaboration of the health and the business/trade sectors, with a focus on critical systems continuity.
2. Share specific examples of current practices---e.g. scenario exercises, communication drills and policy evaluation.
3. Use innovative technologies (e.g. Access Grid) for real-time, virtual interchange, enhancing their utility for future collaboration and response in time of a pandemic.
