BookletLivestock and public health in Eastern Africa
The perfect storm?
2023Also available in:
No results found.This paper, drawing on available literature and publicly accessible data, provides an overview of the current status and trends in zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the institutional capacity to manage livestock related health threats in eastern Africa. It shows that the confluence of low, albeit rising, standards of living, weak capacity to deliver public goods, and a proliferating livestock sector is creating a situation in which the prevalence of endemic zoonotic diseases remains high while the threats posed by (re-)emerging zoonoses and AMR are growing. Effectively mitigating these threats to human health requires concerted, cross-sectoral efforts of private and public actors. This is particularly important in the case of limited institutional capacity, which has already prompted various countries to experiment with public-private partnerships for better provision of veterinary services.
