- Analysed and harmonized national TAD preparedness plans.
- Facilitated a simulation exercise to strengthen and upgrade the national capacities of countries for early warning of and response to peste des petits ruminants.
Impact:
- The capacity of national and regional epidemio-surveillance networks has been strengthened through the introduction of innovative mobile data communication technologies.
