2013-2016 Project Phase
The community focus during this time was to build the capability and capacity of a One Health Early Warning Network. The objectives of the project were to achieve: integration of information and intelligence sources; collaborative analysis of information via a shared platform (CNPHI); and timely distribution of intelligence products.

2016 - 2018 Implementation Phase
A key priority of the implementation phase was to establish reliable production of the weekly intelligence report. CEZD partners worked hard to improve our technological capability to produce intelligence, and our capacity by engaging more experts in the community activities.
