Effective communicable disease control starts in the communities. Community preparedness to detect and respond to communicable disease outbreaks is crucial to effective CDC. The MHV model was a learning experience for public health and local leaders in this project. Through community participation, the local stakeholders who are most directly affected were empowered, which in turn encourages ownership and sustainability of the MHV concept.

Investments in regional cooperation are essential for health security. The ability of communicable diseases to cross international boundaries and affect large number of people demands a sustained and coordinated response among neighboring countries. The continued cooperation between the CLV countries provided a good practice for a coordinated response mechanism against this threat. The regional design enabled the sharing of knowledge, experiences, and resources and supported better data capture and timely information exchange, which are essential to CDC.

Experienced and dedicated teams contribute to implementation success. The project largely inherited the oversight and management teams from ADB’s first GMS CDC project. Continuity of staff and consistency of support from ADB contributed significantly to the success of the project in achieving most of its outcome and outputs. The appointment of high-ranked officials as project directors ensured effective coordination and implementation of project activities.
