1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background to the programme

The Sheikh Technical Veterinary School (STVS) idea developed in 1998 after a series of itinerant training

projects in Somalia, aiming to rebuild capacity in the livestock sector. Observations had been made to the

effect that there was increasing concerns about ageing and dwindling qualified professional capacity while

there was also a need to ensure quality control of the Somali livestock industry and adherence to the

tougher international trade rules.

STVS was then designed and established, in post-war conditions, as a demand driven training and service

provision institution for the Somali ecosystem. The STVS project was launched under the auspices of

African Union –Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) in January 2002, with recruitment

and training of lecturers, curriculum design, construction of facilities and actual delivery of two diploma

courses based on interactive, student-centred approach to educating veterinary professionals. STVS, in the

words of Kisauzi (1993), endeavours to provide ‘training that engenders creativity, enterprise, independent

thinking and self-confidence”. The school’s approach to study and research encourages learning-by-doing,

made possible by its infrastructure, close relationship with the community, small class size and a student-

friendly campus. STVS is now undergoing the 3rd project phase with the main objective of moving from a

project setup to a tertiary institution with international recognition.

The STVS training program is made of 2 diplomas courses, each lasting for 3 years (6 semesters). The

school adopts an interactive, student-centred approach to educating veterinary professionals. It endeavours

to provide training that engenders creativity, entrepreneurship, independent thinking and self-confidence.

The school’s approach to study and research encourages learning-by-doing. This is made possible by its

infrastructure, the close relationship with the community, small class sizes and a student-friendly campus

and environment. All exams under this arrangement shall be externally moderated while continuous

assessment tests will be internally marked. The FVM/Mak will supervise the admission process, assure

quality as well as moderate and mark STVS exams.

1.2 STVS vision

The STVS vision is to be a regional centre of excellence in the Horn of Africa region in animal health, food

safety and quality control.

1.3 STVS mission

3STVS Curriculum, March 2009

Page 4: docs.mak.ac.ugdocs.mak.ac.ug/sites/default/files/DLH New.doc · Web viewWord processing, graphics, statistical operations, applications. Detailed course curriculum. Word processing.

The STVS mission is to train veterinary professionals in the Horn of Africa rangelands to sustain and

protect the region’s livestock export industry and to provide its people with better veterinary services that

protect public health, improve livestock production and animal welfare.

1.4 STVS specific objectives

The objectives of the Sheikh Technical Veterinary School, which the STVS Trust will guarantee and

promote, are as follows:

a) To promote technical veterinary training through an autonomous regional institution;

b) To support livestock development and export-oriented trade and provide a valuable reference

technical centre for the livestock industry within the Horn of Africa region;

c) To promote academic links with peer external veterinary institutions;

d) To expose veterinary professionals to technical innovation and current academic debate in the

sector;

e) To provide up-to-date technical advice to policy makers in the livestock and veterinary industry

within the region;

f) To encourage networking and linkages between the various stakeholders and professionals in the

veterinary and livestock industry and to enhance development of livestock handling and export

promotion;

g) To encourage and promote debate by creating fora for discussion on topical issues relating to

livestock development, including debate on current and modern international trends on livestock

handling;

h) To focus on the training of animal health technicians dealing with live animals, and livestock

product Inspectors dealing with chilled carcases and other products;

i) To recruit students from within the region;

j) To work in partnership with the various partners namely: donor agencies, private sector actors,

academic institutions etc.

1.5 Makerere University as the Mentor institution

The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FVM) at Makerere University (Mak) with its recognized experience

in veterinary training in Eastern Africa was approached and requested to mentor the academic development

of STVS. An affiliation has been forged in which Makerere University shall play the role of mentor sitting

on the Governing Council and Academic Boards of STVS. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at

Makerere University shall be directly responsible for assurance of quality of the STVS diplomas under this

curriculum. It shall moderate examinations, play the role of external examiner and deploy some of its staff

to jointly supervise student research projects with STVS staff. For as long as this affiliation remains, the

diplomas awarded under this curriculum shall be those of Makerere University. The affiliation focuses,

among other potential options for collaboration, on 2 diploma courses: Diploma in Livestock Health

Sciences (DLH) and Diploma in Livestock Products Safety and Quality Control (DLQ).

1.6 Why the focus on Livestock health and livestock products safety and quality control

Livestock export is the backbone of Somali ecosystem economy: Nomadic pastoral livestock

production is the most widespread animal production system in the Somali region. In addition to its

subsistence orientation, it also plays a significant commercial role, with livestock trade forming the

basis of the Somali economy.

Somali livestock industry lacks human resources and political awareness: In light of its economic

importance, the Somali livestock export sector requires efficient and effective veterinary support

services in order to compete with other livestock exporting countries; to become less vulnerable to

external factors; and to function within the current climate of progressive regulation of the livestock

trade through international codes. Against this dynamic and competitive background, the current

Somali veterinary support services are deficient and the general technical competence is dwindling.

The deteriorating quality of services can be attributed to a number of factors including:

absence of veterinary training institutions at university and technical levels since 1991

absence of a new technical cadre to replace the existing and ageing veterinary professionals

isolation of Somali veterinary professionals from technical debates and fora

absence of a critical number of competent veterinary professionals in the livestock sector

limited awareness among Somali political leadership of the importance of efficient veterinary

services to sustain and protect the livestock export sector

limited awareness among Somali livestock traders of the importance of investing in the veterinary

sector in order to receive efficient and effective veterinary support services.

1.7 Justification for implementation as a regional programme for veterinary training

Livestock is indeed key to the post war development of the Somali ecosystem. Unlike many regions in

Africa, the Somali Ecosystem has some peculiarities. It has evolved a pastoral system based livestock

industry operating for export to the Middle East countries. The catchment area for Somali ports is vast with

export livestock coming from a region covering many countries within the ecosystem. The animals many

times cross these countries’ porous borders to reach the Somali ports, thus creating need for a trans-

boundary approach to disease control. Because restrictions relating to disease outbreak automatically affect

the entire livestock industry in the region, any training system willing to address human resource issues in

the Somali livestock sector should be prepared to integrate the regional aspect.

Page 6: docs.mak.ac.ugdocs.mak.ac.ug/sites/default/files/DLH New.doc · Web viewWord processing, graphics, statistical operations, applications. Detailed course curriculum. Word processing.

Further, being export oriented, the Somali livestock industry is highly affected by international market rates

and new constraints occurring through international regulations. Veterinary professionals operating in this

context require specific training in economics, trade and marketing regulations.

The STVS program is unique in that it is designed to address challenges related nomadic pastoral livestock

production systems as opposed to sedentary farming systems being targeted by most traditional veterinary

curricula. This particular curriculum is designed to suit the Somali pastoral system and emphasize on

specific conditions and resources.

1.8 Niche and value addition properties of the programme

This programme is being proposed against a background that there is real need for veterinary professionals

in Somali Ecosystem and the region beyond that has to be addressed. Failing to provide qualified veterinary

professionals may sustain the threat of trans-boundary epizootics across the Eastern Africa countries and

Africa as a whole. The STVS programmed actions will complement other regional efforts to restructure

veterinary services within the former Democratic Republic of Somalia and design standards for

certification of Somali livestock. The program aims to generate new cadres and a framework for research in

the livestock sector. This initiative is being supported by the international community. The programme was

developed in full consultation with the FVM/Mak and its implementation will be supervised by Makerere

University. The program is built on a demand driven model that emphasizes Problem Based Learning

(PBL). STVS has pioneered the PBL approach in veterinary training in Africa. Further, the programme has

an element of credit transfer across institutions which should enhance regionalization.

1.9 Programme purpose

The purpose of the STVS program is to train veterinary professionals in the Horn of Africa rangelands to

sustain and protect the region’s livestock export industry and to provide its people with better veterinary

services that protect public health, improve livestock production and animal welfare.

Specifically the diploma programme will:

a) Sharpen the beneficiaries’ practical skills and promotion of animal health

b) Provide students with training in livestock economics, trade and marketing.

c) Initiate participants in researching and finding solutions to the unique problems of the Somali

ecosystem

d) Increase the number of the much needed critical mass of qualified veterinary professionals in the

Somali ecosystem

1.10 Expected outcomes of the programme

At the end of the programme the diploma graduates will have:
