2nd Year workplan and cost estimates for Pan-African control of epizootics..PDF

The Pan African Programme for the Control of Epizootics (PACE) is a major player in the eradication of rinderpest from the last endemic areas located in East Africa. The four-year PACE programme is being implemented in 27 Sub- Saharan Africa Countries. The idea behind the PACE programme is to continue on the headway made in the campaign against rinderpest under the Pan African Rinderpest Campaign (PARC) project in order to establish national and continental epidemiological surveillance networks for the main animal diseases. Furthermore. PACE is to provide the countries with the capacities needed to organise economically and technically justified disease control programmes and develop an effective and sustainable distribution of veterinary services with private sector participation. The Inter African Bureau for Animal Resources (IBAR) of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) will facilitate the execution of PACE programmes. PACE Uganda national component is funded by EDF and Government of Uganda (GoU).
