The World Health Organization (WHO) Philippines is looking for an institutional contractual
partner for the provision of technical assistance to the Department of Health (DOH) for the shift
in the strategic direction for SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance and the establishment of a
Philippine Genomic Surveillance Consortium. Specifically, the goals of the technical assistance
are to: a) propose changes to the sampling strategy of the DOH for genomic surveillance of
SARS-CoV-2 assuming a sustained decrease in COVID-19 cases; b) propose additional
analyses or models using genomic surveillance data towards further understanding the COVID19 situation in the Philippines as part of multi-source surveillance; c) creation of a monitoring
and evaluation framework for genomic surveillance; and d) provide support in the creation of a
Philippine Genomic Surveillance Consortium and roadmap for the expansion of genomic
surveillance to other diseases, under Agreement for Performance of Work (APW) Contract.
The proposals are due by 25 May 2022.
