ECDC Work Programme, renamed ‘Single Programming Document’ includes two parts: the first part presents our objectives and priorities for the next three years while the second part provides more detail on the specific objectives and expected outputs for 2017. This new structure aligned content-wise with ECDC Strategic Multi-annual Programme 2014-2020, and with the new guidelines from the European Commission now used by all EU agencies, aims at providing a more predictable horizon, with rolling multiannual objectives to be adjusted every year, as well as a clearer presentation that should help our stakeholders as well as Budgetary Authority to more easily review and understand the content of our work.
In 2021, ECDC will continue to address the COVID-19 pandemic and support the efforts of Member States and the Commission. The Centre will also start the implementation of a strategy that will guide its efforts towards 2027.
As the health systems in EU Member States gradually return to a routine operations mode, work on the priorities that the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen formulated in 2019 is expected to resume at full speed during 2023: e-health and the European Health Data Space to promote health data exchange; the implementation of the European ‘One Health’ Action Plan against Antimicrobial Resistance and the cooperation at international level on antimicrobials; as well as actions to strengthen the performance of vaccination programmes in the EU, including addressing vaccine hesitancy. These issues will remain among ECDC’s highest priorities in the years to come.
