The document outlines a plan to coordinate global efforts to combat dengue fever through an alliance of organizations, experts, and communities. The alliance aims to 1) connect stakeholders globally to share knowledge and data, 2) create and share scientific findings to further understanding of dengue, 3) measure disease trends to better anticipate outbreaks, and 4) identify and incubate new solutions. By facilitating coordinated action and knowledge sharing worldwide, the alliance intends to make progress on controlling and preventing dengue on a global scale.

16. Appendix 1 Knowledge platform

17. The Knowledge Sharing Platform
a scientific wiki integrated to a scientific community

18. THE NEED
• Scientific research reports are
usually compiled and posted in a
single and static place
• Visibility is low, updates are difficult.
Those files become obsolete pretty
fast, get lost and unseen

19. THE SOLUTION
• Establish a knowledge ecosystem which
combines the “Wikipedia-approach” of
knowledge sharing, with the high
interactivity of social media platforms
• Result is:
• An online platform filled with high-quality scientific
information on all formats (text, pictures, videos,
sound), populated and visited by health experts and
knowledge-seekers alike
• An interactive solution, bringing science knowledge
to life, generating returning members and dynamic
up to date content
• An expandable model
• A shared development cost
