BookletCambodia: Evaluation for action
Assessing animal disease surveillance capacities, August 2023
2024Also available in:
No results found.This report presents the results of an evaluation of animal disease surveillance capacities in Cambodia, conducted in August 2023. The evaluation was a collaborative effort between various organizations and individuals, including the National Animal Health and Production Research Institute (NAHPRI), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The report provides a detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the surveillance system, and offers recommendations for improvement. The evaluation found that the system has several strengths, including the presence of a central unit for surveillance, coordination meetings with provincial levels, and collaboration with different partners. However, there are also several areas for improvement, including the need for steering and technical committees for surveillance, improved standardization of data from the field, and the development of a national surveillance workforce strategy. The report provides a valuable resource for those working to improve animal disease surveillance capacities in Cambodia. -
BookletJordan: Evaluation for action
Assessing animal disease surveillance capacities, May 2021
2024Also available in:
No results found.Strong surveillance systems are 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 prioritized action plan. Additionally, in 2020 FAO developed the SET Biothreat Detection Module (SET-BT) covering attributes related to the surveillance of agro-terrorism and agro-crime. A SET evaluation and SET-BT pilot mission was conducted in Jordan in May 2021 in close collaboration with the country’s veterinary services and law enforcement agencies. The validation of the SET outputs and recommendations by the Chief Veterinary Officer (CVO) of Jordan and Jordan’s security forces in the form of a report will provide guidance to the veterinary services as well as financial and technical partners on ways to improve Jordan’s animal and zoonotic disease surveillance, and will contribute to a multifaceted approach to capacity building in the country, and in the region. Results and recommendations of the SET-BT module were kept as confidential for security reasons. This activity was organized with the support of a grant from the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH). The grant was provided through funding from Global Affairs Canada's Weapons Threat Reduction Program as part of the Building Resilience Against Agro-terrorism and Agro-crime project. -
BookletTajikistan – Evaluation for action
Assessing animal disease surveillance capacities – April 2021
2022Also available in:
No results found.FAO developed the Surveillance Evaluation Tool (SET) during 2017 to support prevention and control of animal disease threats, including zoonoses. A SET assessment was conducted in April 2021 as part of the efforts to establish the Central Asia Animal Health Network (CAAHN). Other SET and Laboratory Mapping Tool (LMT) assessments were conducted in Central Asian countries with the objective to get a baseline for the region. The report was then adapted to fit FAO's publication template to be posted online, with approval of the Tajik Authorities. Sharing this report publicly will provide financial and technical partners details on findings and recommendations to improve Tajikistan's animal and zoonotic disease surveillance, track progress, and contribute to a multifaceted approach to capacity building in the country and region.
