    The project was very relevant to the priorities of the Government of Mongolia ministries and veterinary practitioners in public and private sectors. The activities taken by the project significantly enhanced the capacity of the General Authority of Veterinary Services by providing technical, policy, planning and management support, upgrading laboratories with equipment and trainings working closely with the staff working at the primary level of animal health service including the Private Veterinary Unit, as well as improving the digitalization of the animal health service. These collective efforts contributed effectively to deliver strengthened animal health services in Mongolia. The project ensured the sustainability of its result effectively through development of policy documents and transboundary animal disease control strategies, capacity building trainings. However, challenges may arise, particularly in the areas of insufficient finance, the absence of a Veterinary Statutory Body, and the potential of failure to control disease outbreaks effectively if cases resurface.Throughout the project implementation, the project's adaptability and flexibility played a pivotal role, successfully adjusting originally planned activities and budget to address emergency needs in the country. The effective management of disease outbreaks during the project further underscored its resilience and impact. The report provides 4 conclusions, 6 recommendations and several lessons learned.

    This project was part of the animal health component of the World Bank-financed Livestock Commercialization Project. FAO implemented it in agreement with the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Light Industry. It aimed to improve the quality and access to veterinary services nationally and to establish transboundary animal disease-free zones in Mongolia. As the technical support agency, FAO strengthened institutional capacity, enhanced disease surveillance and control, improved food safety, and advanced digital livestock interventions. The project covered key areas of animal health and veterinary services across the country.

    Also available in:

    The purpose of this publication is to assemble information from various sources to assist developing countries that, with the objectives of providing more effective animal disease control for improved food production and livestock development and protecting food safety for the consumer, are planning to upgrade their official health services in accordance with internationally accepted principles.A large volume and variety of technical publications on the many different aspects of animal health services under various social, economic and ecological conditions with many different animal disease situations are available. Following requests from many developing countries, a compilation of major experiences of animal health services has been prepared in the form of this publication. The document is based on previous Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) publications such as Standard of Veterinary Services (1974), World Health Organization (WHO) and International Office of Epizootics (OIE) publications, literature sources and technical reports dealing with this subject. Personal experiences of FAO experts and of the participants of the FAO Expert Consultation on Animal Health Services in Developing Countries, Rome, 15-19 October 1990, represent a very important contribution to this document. The Expert Consultation was attended by selected chief veterinary officers from all regions of developing countries. The final editing of the document was carried out by Drs A.K. Chatterjee, W.H.G. Rees and J. Thomson, former chief veterinary officers of India, the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe respectively.
