<p>Data.</p>

A survey conducted between 6 December 2020 and 25 March 2021 documented best practices in Public Health Emergency Operations Centre (PHEOC) implementation in Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Senegal. Senait Tekeste Fekadu collected institutional and individual-level data on PHEOC facilities, legal mandates, plans, and staff competency. The data captures the state of emergency coordination systems just before and during the early COVID-19 pandemic.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking emergency management competency scores across countries based on survey results.
• Analyzing the correlation between legal mandates (legislation vs. directive) and PHEOC facility quality.
• Studying the timing of PHEOC activation relative to COVID 19 case detection for preparedness coordination.
• Comparing the adequacy of information systems and hazard-specific plan development across different national contexts.

Strengths

• Data collected via structured survey from regular and surge staff in three countries.
• Includes defined adequacy thresholds (70% accuracy for knowledge, 3.5 score for competency).
• Captures a specific time period during a global health emergency (Dec 2020 - Mar 2021).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the three surveyed countries.
