The Government of Malawi conducted the second multisectoral Joint External Evaluation (JEE) from 2–6 December 2024. The major purpose of this exercise was to measure the country’s specific status and progress in achieving International Health Regulations (IHR) core capacities in the 19 technical areas. This JEE aimed specifically to assess Malawi's health security capabilities across 19 technical areas categorized under prevention, detection, response and the management of other hazards. The assessment involved validating the self-assessment IHR national report which was complemented with site visits to key facilities.

The International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) form a global framework for health security that mandates each country to build and sustain agreed IHR core public health capacities for prevention, preparedness, detection and response to public health emergencies. Kenya, as a State Party to the IHR (2005), has made significant strides in implementing these regulations since they came into action in 2007. The second Joint External Evaluation (JEE) assessed Kenya's level of attainment of the IHR core capacities, using the World Health Organization (WHO) IHR JEE tool version 3.0. The evaluation was conducted in September 2024 by a team of external experts with international experience in diverse technical areas, engaging with technical experts from Kenya's government bodies, academic institutions and development partners. The evaluation process involved discussions in a peer-to-peer approach to agree on the scores by consensus across 19 technical areas, site visits at national and subnational levels, and resulted in the collaborative development of priority actions. This comprehensive report presents the technical area indicators’ scores and highlights the strengths and challenges as well as priority actions by technical area, with an emphasis on identified cross-cutting themes that require immediate attention for enhanced health security.
