The overall capacity building objective is to increase the likelihood of reporting suspicion of FAST diseases among veterinarians and veterinary paraprofessionals.

The learning objectives are:

• Improve understanding and awareness of passive surveillance as early detection system for FAST diseases outbreaks and for providing evidence of freedom from FAST diseases or monitoring the distribution and effectiveness of control measures of endemic FAST diseases.
• Improve sample collection (quality and quantity) and encourage outbreak investigations for FAST diseases.
• Enhance the effectiveness of passive surveillance through the optimization of resources and collaboration with stakeholders.
