    Livestock play an important role in Afghanistan, boosting nutrition and providing livelihoods. Outbreaks of animal diseases such as Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) and peste des petits ruminants (PPR) are a constant threat to improving nutrition and farmer incomes. The Project ‘Building resilience and self-reliance of livestock keepers by improving control of FMD and other Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs)’ aimed at providing assistance at central, province, and community level, in strengthening food security through an improved on-farm livestock healthcare system. The evaluation found there was good progress in improving animal health and disease control. The Project exceeded original vaccination targets, owing to a close collaboration with the private sector and non-governmental organizations. Epidemiology skills were improved in the country but remain limited while analytical skills remain a critical need and there is a continuing need for better capture of outbreak and disease surveillance data. The major weakness of the Project was the lack of sustainability with no clear exit plan. The evaluation recommends that there be an immediate follow-up project.

    In 2019 The European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EuFMD) contracted the Royal Veterinary College, University of London (RVC) to conduct a research study that aimed to better understand the role of VPPs in the control of FAST. The outputs of this study were expected to guide the EuFMD in developing training strategies for VPPs. A mixed methods approach was used that included analysis of current numbers and distribution of veterinarians and VPPs, a literature review, a survey, key informant interviews and qualitative field studies conducted in Nepal and Tanzania.
