This is under Livestock Epidemio-surveillance Southern sub-project (LESP) through a grant from the European Community (EC), a parallel project is being implemented in northern Sudan.
The overall objective of the project is long-term reduction of poverty of those involved in livestock farming.
The specific objectives are:
- Completion of the rinderpest eradication pathway in Southern Sudan completed by 2008.
- Establishment of an effective and sustainable epidemio-surveillance system (ESS) owned and supported by the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) in order to support timely and effectively livestock disease control.
- Ensure that the GoSS Ministry of Animal Resources and Fisheries (MARF) has an informed and fully-costed strategy addressing main animal health issues affecting Southern Sudan.
The target groups for the project are the livestock owners of Southern Sudan, Community-based Animal Health Workers (CAHWs), Animal Health Auxiliaries, (AHAs), public and private veterinarians, Southern Sudan State Ministries of Agriculture and Animal Resources and Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) Ministry of Animal Resources and Fisheries (MARF) Directorate of Veterinary Services.
Consultancy summary
In the past four years the project had its focus on addressing the completion of rinderpest eradication pathway as recommended by the World Animal Health Organization (OIE), as well as strengthening the disease surveillance capacity of the government of South Sudan specifically targeting priority and emerging livestock diseases in South Sudan.
In a quest to take the surveillance effort further the project aims to advocate for an improved disease tracking system, linking up with livestock routes and marketing infrastructures. These marketing infrastructures were destroyed during the two decade long civil war.
The study is designed to look at the existing slaughter facilities in the five states of Central Equatoria, Jonglei, Upper Nile, Eastern Equatoria and Unity and assess their conformity with normal operating standards.
Location
This study will take place in the five State capital towns of Juba, Bor, Malakal, Torit and Bentiu.
