Synopsis (short abstract) In 2015, the world called for action by setting a goal of zero human dog-mediated rabies deaths by 2030, worldwide. Now, for the first time, four organizations – the World Health Organizaton (WHO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC) – have joined forces, as the United Against Rabies collaboration, and are determined to reach this goal. The United Against Rabies collaboration leverages existing tools and expertise in a coordinated way to empower, engage and enable countries to save human lives from this preventable disease. The global strategic plan puts countries at the centre with renewed international support to act. This country-centric engagement will be flexible and consider different contexts and capacities. Countries will lead efforts, driving the changes needed to reach Zero by 30, empowered by the United Against Rabies collaboration, as they build sustainable institutional capacity and end human deaths from dog-mediated rabies.

United Against Rabies Collaboration First Annual Progress Report
Zero by 2030 The Global Strategic Plan to End Human Deaths from Dog-mediated Rabies by 2030
2019

Also available in:

This first annual report describes the progress made since 2018 when the “Zero by 30” Global Strategic Plan was launched. The country-centric plan is built on the premise that societal and political support are fundamental to the success of any disease elimination campaign. Until recently, the global response to rabies was fragmented and uncoordinated. This first annual progress report demonstrates the collaborative impact of the four organizations of the UAR on national, regional and global rabies elimination programmes. Significant progress has been made towards achieving the three objectives of the Global Strategic Plan. In addressing the first objective, the UAR demonstrated (i) increased access to dog rabies vaccines, (ii) improved medical care for cases of human rabies exposure and (iii) enhanced rabies awareness in several countries and regions worldwide.
