Synopsis (short abstract) In response to a request from Members, FAO developed the surveillance evaluation tool (SET) in 2017 to assess animal disease surveillance systems and provide country-specific recommendations for improvement. SET has been largely used in Africa under funding by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to guide capacity-building activities related to animal disease surveillance. Following its successful implementation in project countries, the tool was made available to other countries and region under specific funding. A re-evaluation mission to the United Republic of Tanzania was conducted in November 2020 in close partnership with the country’s veterinary services. This was the first SET re-evaluation done, and the country was the first to pilot the tool in 2017. Findings from the missions and recommendations were compiled in a report that can be used by governments and partners to identify priority areas to improve animal disease surveillance in the United Republic of Tanzania.

Report of the Technical Workshop on the Development of a Strategy for Improving Biosecurity (Aquatic Animal Health) in the Subregional Countries of the Mozambique Channel (Madagascar, Mozambique and the United Republic of Tanzania). 2015

The incursion of the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the most serious pathogen of cultured shrimp, into Mozambique and Madagascar prompted national governments and international agencies such as the World Bank and FAO to develop long-term policy actions through a strategy that will improve aquatic biosecurity governance in the three countries (Madagascar, Mozambique and the United Republic of Tanzania) of the Mozambique Channel, so that the risks of diseases affecting shrimp aquaculture can be reduced. The Technical Workshop on the Development of a Strategy for Improving Biosecurity (Aquatic Animal Health) in the Subregional Countries of the Mozambique Channel (Madagascar, Mozambique and the United Republic of Tanzania), held from 2 to 4 April 2013 in Maputo, Mozambique, was organized and facilitated by FAO with financial support from the World Bank and hosted by the National Institute for Development of Aquaculture and the Institute for Fish Inspection of Mozambique.

Tajikistan – Evaluation for action
Assessing animal disease surveillance capacities – April 2021

FAO developed the Surveillance Evaluation Tool (SET) during 2017 to support prevention and control of animal disease threats, including zoonoses. A SET assessment was conducted in April 2021 as part of the efforts to establish the Central Asia Animal Health Network (CAAHN). Other SET and Laboratory Mapping Tool (LMT) assessments were conducted in Central Asian countries with the objective to get a baseline for the region. The report was then adapted to fit FAO's publication template to be posted online, with approval of the Tajik Authorities. Sharing this report publicly will provide financial and technical partners details on findings and recommendations to improve Tajikistan's animal and zoonotic disease surveillance, track progress, and contribute to a multifaceted approach to capacity building in the country and region.

The Kyrgyz Republic – Evaluation for action
Assessing animal disease surveillance capacities – October 2019

Outbreaks of livestock diseases can have devastating impacts on people’s livelihoods, and over 70 percent of animal disease can spill over to humans. Strong surveillance systems are therefore critical to identify and respond to human and animal threats rapidly, and to develop efficient disease control programmes. To support countries in building their national veterinary surveillance systems, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) developed the Surveillance Evaluation Tool (SET). SET provides countries with a comprehensive and repeatable methodology to evaluate animal disease surveillance at all levels (central, intermediate and field), leading to the development of specific recommendations for improvement in the form of a prioritised action plan. An evaluation mission in the Kyrgyz Republic was conducted in October 2019 in close collaboration with the country’s veterinary services. The validation of the SET outputs and recommendations by the Chief Veterinary Officer (CVO) of the Kyrgyz Republic in the form of a report will provide guidance to the veterinary services as well as financial and technical partners on ways improve Kyrgyzstan’s animal and zoonotic disease surveillance, and will contribute to a multifaceted approach to capacity building in the country, and in the region.
