Contents Foreword Public health systems face an ever-changing landscape shaped by emerging diseases, shifting demographics,environmental pressures and rapid advances in technology. The capacity to respond effectively in such anenvironment depends on a workforce that can interpret complex information, act on credible evidence andanticipate new challenges before they escalate. Building this capacity requires deliberate investment in theskills and knowledge that form the backbone of public health intelligence. ThePublic health intelligence competency frameworkoffers a structured approach to cultivating these skills.It defines the expertise needed for effective public health intelligence, ranging from the early detection andverification of signals, through rigorous analysis and assessment, to translating insights into policies andactions that safeguard health. In doing so, it addresses the pressing need for clear standards and guidance inthis vital field of practice. This Framework is not intended solely for specialists; it is designed to be relevant across the spectrumof public health roles, from local health officers to global policy-makers. It aligns with international bestpractices, complements other WHO competency frameworks, and can be adapted to different systems,hazards and contexts. Drawing on lessons from past events and anticipating the demands of future crises,the Framework integrates technical expertise with essential functional skills such as communication, criticalthinking and collaboration. The development of the Framework is the result of close collaboration between WHO Member States,
