Member States of the WHO working to build capacity under the International Health Regulations (IHR) are advised to develop prioritised, costed plans to implement improvements based on the results of voluntary external assessments. Defining the costs associated with capacity building under the IHR, however, has challenged nations, funders and supporting organisations. Most current efforts to develop costed national action plans involve long-term engagements that may take weeks or months to complete. While these efforts have value in and of themselves, there is an urgent need for a rapid-use tool to provide cost estimates regardless of the level of expertise of the personnel assigned to the task. In this paper, we describe a tool that can-in a matter of hours-provide country-level cost estimates for capacity building under the IHR. This paper also describes how the tool can be used in countries, as well as the challenges inherent in any costing process.
建议致力于根据《国际卫生条例》建设能力的世界卫生组织成员国，制定基于自愿外部评估结果的、有优先次序且有成本核算的计划，以实施改进措施。然而，确定《国际卫生条例》规定的能力建设相关成本，对各国、资助者和支持组织构成了挑战。目前制定有成本核算的国家行动计划的大多数努力都涉及长期工作，可能需要数周或数月才能完成。虽然这些努力本身有其价值，但迫切需要一种快速使用的工具，无论分配到该任务的人员专业水平如何，都能提供成本估计。在本文中，我们描述了一种工具，它可以在数小时内提供《国际卫生条例》规定的国家层面能力建设成本估计。本文还描述了该工具在各国的使用方式以及任何成本核算过程中固有的挑战。
