Strengthening of veterinary services--The 01E PVS Pathway for efficient Veterinary Services: the PVS Gap Analysis step

摘要

In what seems like an age ago, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) carried out a pilot project, co-financed by the USDA1 and the World Bank, aimed at: (i) evaluating the performance of Veterinary Services (PVS) within 15 countries in threeregions and (ii) completing a gap analysis mission in 10 countries. Now, just three years later, the OIE has received official requests for a PVS evaluation from 101 countries, 91 PVS evaluations missions have been completed, and this has already generated 42 official requests from countries for a PVS Gap Analysis based on the country's PVS Report. The PVS Pathway for efficient Veterinary Services was thus born and is now a fully-fledged worldwide project mainly co-financed by the European Union (EU), the World Bank, the USA (USDA and CDC), Switzerland (FVO), Japan, Italy, France, Canada (CIDA) and Australia (AusAID and DAFF).
