The draft strategy expresses a Statement of purpose; Vision; Guiding principles; and... implementation; and outlines nine major programmes of activity: (1) Policy, legislation and institutional framework; (2) Risk analysis and quarantine; (3) Diagnostics and health certification; (4) Surveillance, monitoring and reporting; (5) Emergency preparedness; (6) Capacity building; (7) Research and development; (8) Communication and international collaboration; and (9) Reso urces and funding. Within each major programme are presented its objectives, current status, and a number of projects that are to be accomplished during the initial phase of implementation. The NAAHS will be further developed by the State Veterinary Organization for funding and implementation.
