Synopsis (short abstract) This first annual report describes the progress made since 2018 when the “Zero by 30” Global Strategic Plan was launched. The country-centric plan is built on the premise that societal and political support are fundamental to the success of any disease elimination campaign. Until recently, the global response to rabies was fragmented and uncoordinated. This first annual progress report demonstrates the collaborative impact of the four organizations of the UAR on national, regional and global rabies elimination programmes. Significant progress has been made towards achieving the three objectives of the Global Strategic Plan. In addressing the first objective, the UAR demonstrated (i) increased access to dog rabies vaccines, (ii) improved medical care for cases of human rabies exposure and (iii) enhanced rabies awareness in several countries and regions worldwide.

    This technical report replaces or supersedes issue-related contents in previous WHO foundational documents on oral rabies vaccination (ORV) of dogs. In contrast to the 2007 WHO recommendations, this report will shift focus from the development of suitable vaccines and baits for dogs towards providing guidance for practical implementation of ORV as a tool integrated into national strategies to control rabies in dog populations. This report therefore mainly addresses basic regulatory considerations for licensing and selection of appropriate oral vaccine candidates, logistics, distribution strategies in the field, communication, activities to be implemented in relation to ORV campaigns, and monitoring of campaigns. It should be emphasized that it is impossible to establish a universally valid and applicable blueprint for the integration of ORV into national strategies for the control of canine rabies. This is not least due to country-specific circumstances, including sociocultural aspects, epidemiological situations, local dog population structures, funding, and available resources. Therefore, countries should use this guiding document to find their own strategic and practical approach.

    This report showcases some examples of FAO’s endeavours in assisting countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East in combating rabies through the holistic One Health approach. It is our aspiration that this report serve as a source of inspiration and as a catalyst for sustained action, motivating FAO, its Members and collaborative partners to continue their dedicated efforts to combat rabies. Let us stand united, committed to achieve the common vision of “zero by 30”.

    Rabies threatens nations worldwide, mainly affecting poor and marginalized communities in Africa and Asia. Its economic impact is estimated to be over USD 8.6 billion per year. If no new action is taken, a million people will die from rabies by 2030. FAO, OIE, and WHO have been committed to controlling and eliminating of human deaths from canine rabies since 2011, and in 2018 published “Zero by 30: The Global Strategic Plan to Eliminate Human Deaths from Dog-Mediated Rabies by 2030.” United Against Rabies (UAR) Forum is formed as a platform for stakeholders to work together and advance their collective efforts to achieve Zero by 30. The UAR Forum will bring organizations from all sectors including public and animal health specialists, One Health specialists, civil society, research and academic institutions, and the private sector as partners in this collaboration. FAO, OIE, and WHO leadership announced the UAR Forum at an online event in September 2020. The UAR Forum meeting included a wide range of stakeholders and speakers discussing the impact of rabies and its role as a model One Health challenge. The meeting included three technical expert panel sessions with contributions and questions from participants around the world. The ideas and suggestions raised through the discussions identified the priority action areas and activities to be addressed by UAR Forum working groups over the next 12 to 18 months in order to progress to the global goal of Zero by 30.
