ANNEX: Organization and objectives of the breakout sessions

During the breakout sessions questions related to the workshop themes will be discussed in small groups. Each workshop will have a Chair to moderate the discussions and a Rapporteur in charge of taking notes, summarizing it in succinct minutes, and presenting the work in the plenary. At the end of the workshop period of Day 1, workshop participants will also discuss the objectives and preparatory work needed, if any, of the workshop on Day 2. At the end of Day 1, the Planning Team will decide about the final organization, themes, and format of the Day 2 workshops. The leaders of each workshop will provide a first set of questions and tasks at the beginning of the workshop. While participants may choose their workshop, the Planning Team may propose the assignment of some experts to specific workshops.

It is expected that participants will contribute to the detailed agenda and direction of the discussion. The application of the concept and the needs and gaps will be discussed in the Vietnamese context using the provided Input Report and the expertise of the workshop participants. Next steps and open questions will be outlined based on identified gaps and priorities. The upcoming ideas and proposals will be prioritized based on local needs, interests, and public health relevance.
