Work in progress

INAPs Integrated National Action Plans Funded by EC Oversight by Alive Secretariat Implemented by joint teams FAO-OIE-IBAR-WHO Objectives:

- evaluate the country’s veterinary and public health services, the communication network and their capacity to respond to AHI

- strengthen the national avian and human influenza prevention and response capacity

- provide first guidelines for further strengthening of the VS- determine the financing needs to achieve the above objectives

Expected results:- INAPS (government owned 5-year programs)- Financial plan

IFAD Funded Project:Development of innovative site-specific integrated animal health packages for the rural poor (field oriented)

GoalTo develop innovative site-specific integrated animal health packages for the management and control of animal disease risks/constraints for improved livestock production and increased opportunities for rural development

29

Budget US$3.6FAO/PAAT partners US$2.0IFAD US$1.6

Duration: 4 years

Supervision (technical and financial): AGAH

Beneficiary countriesWest Africa: Burkina Faso, GhanaEast Africa: Burundi, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda

Target groups: Poor smallholders’ livestock keepers, rural agricultural communities

Implementing institutions and partners: FAO, CIRDES, ICIPE, IAEA, IFAH, IFAD Lending Projects, Beneficiary Countries

30

Objectives To develop site-specific animal health packages for reducing disease

burden

To enhance capacity of farmers, farmers’ association and NARES in formulating, delivering and implementing animal health and production packages in relation to production systems and agro-ecological zones

To establish networks for institutional strengthening (public-private collaboration), increased ownership, exchange and dissemination of information, and feedback for follow up and influencing policy

To re-examine existing technologies and strategies for vector and vector-borne disease (VBD) control and refine guidelines for future investments

To sustain international and inter-sectoral collaboration through the establishment of linkages (e.g. IFAD investment programmes) and networking for institutional strengthening

TCP/RAF/3202: Rinderpest surveillance for Cameroon, Chad, Djibouti, Kenya, Niger and Nigeria SERECU: Joint AU-IBAR/FAO trust fund project for the Somali Ecosystem. Global trust funds to support global Rinderpest activitiesAt OIE: Analysis of dossiers for status accreditation

Objective : global eradication for 2010:

-25 countries need to present dossier after completion of the surveillance, - 13 to formulate only dossier and - 27 to send a letter requesting to enter directly on the global list.

Short term prospects

Action plan Continuation of ‘core activities’ Next 3-year Action Plan

- Approach Aligned with the ALive TAP2 In line with the GF-TADs Global Strategy (under

development) = OWOH / holistic approach to disease prevention and control

Upstream to national activities (ALive mandate) but in fine for the benefit of the Africa countries

Based on the recommendations of the ALive PN on animal health delivery.

Tools : RAHCs / GLEWS / CMC-AH / OFFLU / Networks

37

Short term prospects

Action plan

Next 3-year Action Plan- Proposed activities

1. Prevention an control of Major TADs

2. Public-private partnership in Animal Health

3. TADs Epidemiosurveillance and networking

4. Strengthening and Networking of laboratories in Africa

5. TADs at the wildlife-livestock interface

- To be implemented jointly with OIE and IBAR
