The Centre for International Cooperation in Health and Development (CCISD), a Canadian NGO based in Quebec City, has been developing and managing international health projects since 1987. The CCISD has recently initiated its field activities as part of the “Regional Disease Surveillance Systems Enhancement Project in West Africa” (REDISSE). The Objective of the REDISSE Project is to “strengthen national and regional cross-sectoral capacity for collaborative disease surveillance and epidemic preparedness in West Africa by remedying the weaknesses of human and animal health systems that hinder effective disease surveillance and response "; and in the event of an emergency, “ provide an immediate and effective response to said emergency”.
