Training is a fundamental cross-cutting tool which facilitates the global implementation of influenza pandemic preparedness measures, as well as for animal and seasonal influenza. The Influenza Training Digital Library was created in response to a need for a common repository of standardized material involving multiple and diverse international partners involved in the delivery of influenza and pandemic preparedness training.

This library provides up-to-date, peer-reviewed and easy accessible influenza-related training material and technical background documents. Links have been provided to self-instruction sites and relevant influenza sites for ease of access to these materials. The documents contained in these links are not necessarily endorsed by the Global Influenza Programme nor the Influenza Training Network.

The primary target group of the Influenza Training Digital Library are public health workers who are either undergoing self-learning, or trainers looking for references on influenza and relevant topics.

The Influenza Training Digital Library is managed by the Secretariat of the Influenza Training Network.
