“They don’t have to go through five different people and ask for five different signatures before anything can happen,” she said.

"The need to retain the structure is clear to most of the countries, Sock argued, as even if there is no longer an emergency, the threat is very much present — and this extends to other public health threats beyond Ebola."

The EOCs are part of growing discussions on post-Ebola recovery and reconstruction efforts. And donors, including the European Union, are now reviewing their aid allocations for the heavily affected countries to see whether adjustments need to be made and where.

Under the 2014-2020 European Development Fund, its main funding mechanism for low-income economies in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific and several overseas countries and territories, the European Union will be providing Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone 244 million euros ($259.9 million), 279 million euros and 376 million euros, respectively.
