PROPOSAL FOR 1ST YEAR WORKPLAN AND COST ESTIMATES FOR PAN AFRICAN CONTROL OF EPIZOOTICS PROGRAMME IN UGANDA

Abstract

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 will be implemented in 32 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 network for the main animal diseases. Furthermore, 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. PACE will be executed by the Inter African Bureau for Animal Resources (IBAR) of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). PACE Uganda national component is funded by EDF and Government of Uganda (GoU).
