    In 2015 a sheep pox outbreak spread through the eastern region of Mongolia. At the same time an extremely harsh winter in 2015 and 2016 killed 56 million livestock and left those that survived vulnerable to contracting sheep pox. Interventions to control the outbreak were made, but because of a vaccine shortage sheep pox continued to spread throughout the country. This project was implemented to provide an emergency response to control the sheep pox outbreak through providing emergency vaccinations to livestock and promoting disease control and awareness raising.
