Background

As part of strengthening the national epidemiological surveillance system, and in line with the

recommendations from the national capacity assessment conducted with the support of the University

of Oslo, the FHI 360 STRIDES Project is supporting the Ministry of Public Health in modernizing and

securing the IT infrastructure dedicated to surveillance and laboratory data management.

The central servers hosting the data systems of the Department of Epidemiological Surveillance

(DVSSER) and the National Reference Laboratory (LA2M) will be consolidated under the

Department of Studies, Planning, and Information Systems (DEPSI), which will ensure secure

hosting and maintenance.

To ensure data availability, integrity, and security, upgrades to the DEPSI server room are required,

including installation of access control, CCTV surveillance, alarm systems, environmental monitoring

(temperature and humidity), and reinforcement of power and connectivity systems.

2. Mission Objective

To upgrade the DEPSI server room to reliably and securely host servers dedicated to epidemiological

surveillance and laboratory data systems (DVSSER and LA2M), in compliance with international

standards for physical and logical data security.

3. Expected results

• A secure, climate-controlled server room with restricted access.

• Servers fully installed and operational, ensuring 24/7 data availability.

• Functional environmental monitoring and security systems.
