Mission Statement
RADISCON seeks to develop an Animal Disease
Surveillance and Control Network through a process of strengthening of veterinary
investigation, animal disease information and laboratory services, continued
professional development and improved professional communication between
neighbouring countries.
RADISCON is a joint
FAO/IFAD
endeavour targeted at 29 nations located in North Africa, the Sahel, the
Horn of Africa, the Middle East and the Arab Gulf, which aim is to promote
animal disease surveillance within and among countries. RADISCON implementation
started in June 1996. It is hoped that the ongoing activities will increase
the efficiency of control programmes.

its National Animal Disease Surveillance System (NADSS) and communication
between participating nations is taking place electronically, where possible,
using electronic mail facilities.
