Tajikistan – Evaluation for action
Assessing animal disease surveillance capacities
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.
