What it does
The objective of the Communicable Disease Control and Management Program is to reduce the incidence, spread and human health effects of communicable diseases among First Nations living on-reserve. Key activities supporting program delivery include: prevention, treatment and control of cases and outbreaks of communicable diseases; and, public education and awareness to encourage healthy practices, including infection prevention and control practices. The Department funds and /or delivers Communicable Disease Control and Management programming to individuals living on-reserve in First Nations communities and in Nunatsiavut (Inuit regions of Labrador). Since funding to complement Treasury Board programming is provided to only one Inuit region, performance measures do not currently include Inuit. Communicable Disease Control and Management works closely with the Environmental Public Health program as it relates to waterborne, foodborne and zoonotic infectious diseases, as well as with other federal entities such as the Public Health Agency of Canada.

History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2019-20. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Communicable Diseases Control and Management | Earlier program (name match, high confidence) | 2018-19 – 2020-21 | $79.4M |
| Communicable Disease Control and Management | This program | 2019-20 – 2024-25 | $1.08B |
Significant changes in scope and budget
Detected from the data: renames between plans, programs it appears to replace, merge with or split into (matched by name), year-over-year changes in spending of at least 25% and $5M, or in employees of at least 20% and 25 FTEs, linked budget measures, and results indicators added or dropped.

| 2020-21 | ≥ 80.6% | 2021 | — Not available - Informing COVID-19 response has diverted data analytical capacities in ISC regions and at ISC-HQ which resulted in the delays to reporting on other communicable diseases and performance outcomes. The Department expects reporting on outcomes and performance measures for 2019 and 2020 to be available by the end of calendar year of 2021.
