The activities within PHA4GE are aligned to its vision of achieving a rapid global genomic-driven public health response to disease outbreaks. Building the data standards, and sharing best practices require the input from global stakeholders. We have defined five working groups with deliverables determined by public health needs. Each of these working groups benefit from collaborative work among its members – membership represents an in-kind contribution.

The seed funding provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supports the secretariat functions within PHA4GE and implementation of tools or methods at identified public health institutions.
