Book (stand-alone)United Republic of Tanzania – Evaluation for action
Assessing animal disease surveillance capacities – November 2020
2022Also available in:
No results found.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. -
Book (stand-alone)Uganda – Evaluation for action
Assessing animal disease surveillance capacities – March 2018

No results found.In response to a request by African member countries in Phase 1 of the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), FAO developed the Surveillance Evaluation Tool (SET) to assess animal disease surveillance systems and provide country specific recommendations for improvement in the form of an action plan. After piloting the toolkit in Tanzania and Liberia, the toolkit was finalized and made available to other countries. An evaluation mission in Uganda was conducted in March 2018 and a report was drafted, which was shared with the veterinary services. The report was then adapted to fit FAO publications template to be posted online, with approval of the Chief Veterinary Officer in Uganda. Sharing this report publicly will provide financial and technical partners details on findings and recommendations to improve Uganda's animal and zoonotic disease surveillance, and will contribute to a multifaceted approach to capacity building in the country, and in the region. In addition, it will enhance transparency of the work done by FAO under GHSA and with financing from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Lastly, other countries reading the report may see benefits in undergoing SET evaluation missions themselves -
Book (stand-alone)Indonesia – Evaluation for action
Assessing animal disease surveillance capacities – August 2019
2021Also available in:
No results found.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 Indonesia was conducted in August 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 Indonesia in the form of a report will provide guidance to the veterinary services as well as financial and technical partners on ways improve Indonesia’s animal and zoonotic disease surveillance, and will contribute to a multifaceted approach to capacity building in the country, and in the region.
