Who We Are

Our Focus

• We keep animals and communities healthy by reducing risks of zoonotic diseases like rabies through local surveillance and disease control measures including community education, food safety, vaccination, and treatment.
• We invest in leadership, governance, information, and coordination of local systems that recognize and respond to the intersections between animal, human, and environmental health.
• Our work facilitates knowledge sharing and exchange, allowing communities to harness their existing assets and strengthen capacity for health. In partnership with governments, local organizations, and communities, we prepare for and respond to emergencies, ensuring equitable access to animal health services and resources.
• We also improve food security and quality of life through integrated livestock and agricultural livelihoods that are resilient to climate change.

We are committed to working towards to truth, reconciliation and decolonization.
