Multinational - Strengthening Institutions for Risk Management of Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs) in the SADC Region (SADC TADs Project)

The project to strengthen Transboundary Animal Disease Risk Management (TAD) Institutions within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Region has been implemented in five countries (Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia) due to the negative impact of Transboundary Animal Diseases on economic, commercial and / or food security. It is a project aimed at contributing to the enhancement of food security and promoting wealth creation, as well as improving living conditions in rural areas, by progressively eradicating TADs of regional strategic importance, including foot-and-mouth disease and contagious bovine pleuropneumonia; and strengthening the regional capacity for emergency response against the spread of TADs. The total project cost is UA 15.23 million and consists of three components, namely: (i) Networking and Information Sharing; ii) Capacity building and institutions, and iii) Project coordination and management.
