It will provide expert help with surveillance and response, an emergency operations center, and fellowships for African epidemiologists to work in the center.

Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, the chairwoman of the African Union said, "The aim of the new center was to strengthen the capacities of the African countries to combat disease, sharing information, build collective capacities not only against Ebola, but also HIV, TB, malaria and many other diseases."
Zuma thanked the United States for its help in combating the recent Ebola outbreak. She further said, "Of course, the epidemic is not over and so we still need to continue working and being vigilant. With the support of the international community, we think it would be possible to see this epidemic behind us. However, we must not let up until all the three countries are Ebola-free. In fact, I don’t think one country can actually be Ebola-free until all of them are."
