Control and Emergency (NAC-ADCE) National Agricultural and Fishery Council (NAFC) – Committee on Poultry, Livestock and Feed Crops Philippine Inter-Agency Committee on Zoonoses

(PhICZ) Technical Working Groups Public consultation meetings Expos, summits, conferences

Challenges

1. Crafting the Veterinary Services Strategic Plan− Formation of a dedicated Technical

Writing Group to finalize the Strategic Plan

− Fitting this in with the rationalization plan (streamlining) of the government

− Matching with the priorities and banner programs of the current administration

− Possible incorporation into the Philippine Medium Term Development Plan (2011-2016)

Challenges

2. Sourcing of funds− Diligently working within the system:

regularly submitting budget proposals and justification

− Utilizing income from regulatory activities and services for the development and modernization of government facilities and enhancing efficiency of services

− Improving external assistance through international donor funding

Challenges

3. International concerns and issues− Threats of transboundary diseases

(e.g., Foot and Mouth Disease, Hog Cholera, Newcastle Disease), zoonoses (e.g. Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, Rabies, Anthrax, Influenza AH1N1) and emerging diseases

− Coping with forces of nature (tsunamis, earthquakes, floods), effects of global climate change, rational use of drugs and biologicals in animals, bioterrorism

− Compliance to international standards and guidelines

I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference...
