Synopsis (short abstract) The South Africa Animal Health Technician (AHT) Competency Framework is specifically tailored to the role of AHTs in South Africa. It builds on the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) guidelines by recognizing increasing levels of competency from novice, through to intermediate and advanced competency levels. The framework aims to support capacity development of AHTs working as animal health service providers with livestock farmers (these may be smallholder farmers, pastoralists of more commercial livestock enterprises).The tool may be used by:- animal health technicians in order to identify their current competency level for a set of competencies and define personalized continuous professional development learning goals;- animal health technician training and continuous professional development providers in order to identify learning objectives for a training focusing on a particular competency or skill set; and- mentors and supervisors of animal health technicians in order to assess animal health technician competencies, identify areas for improvement and provide tailored support for capacity development of AHTs.

The described methodology was piloted in 2022 in Uganda, Nigeria and South Africa.
