This plan outlines a framework of priorities for aligning collective efforts towards the goal of stopping the monkeypox outbreak. WHO invites countries to develop their own context specific approach to prepare for and respond to the current monkeypox outbreak guided by the SPRP, with a specific focus on three strategic objectives: interrupt human-human transmission, protect vulnerable groups at risk, and minimize zoonotic transmission. | WHO (World Health Organization).

This framework aims to monitor and report on global progress towards these objectives, including information about country-level response efforts and WHO support to Member States. Regular collection and analysis of data on these objectives, alongside the ongoing tracking of the epidemiological situation, are key to informing decision-making, operational adjustments, as well as ensuring transparency and accountability for achieving the goal to stop the Mpox outbreak. This document suggests reporting indicators for monitoring of the global response to the Mpox PHEIC as articulated in the Mpox SPRP and Operational Planning Guidelines for countries. | WHO (World Health Organization).
