Description
In August 2014, WHO drafted the Ebola Response Roadmap to set out the core strategy for stopping this unprecedented outbreak and to provide the basis for a significantly increased response. This was the basis for the UN system��s Overview of Needs and Requirements (ONR) and STEPP Strategy that followed. These were designed to assist governments and partners in the revision and resourcing of country-specific operational plans for the Ebola response, and to�aid the coordination of international support to fully implement those plans.
