HEARD Inception Workshop, ILRI, Addis Ababa,
29 March 2019
2. While Ethiopia has the largest livestock population in
Africa, it is not reaching the levels of income from
livestock due to various reasons of which the shortage of
fodder and feed and the occurrence of a multitude of
livestock diseases.
Since past ten+ years, the EU has been providing
support to the livestock sector specifically in the area of
animal health services:

3. Overall analysis in livestock sector in Ethiopia indicate
a gap in actions needed to address challenges in:
Creating an enabling policy environment;
Rationalizing public and private provision of
veterinary services;
Satisfying the capacity building needs of public and
private livestock service providers;
Enhancing the food safety of livestock commodities
traded along internal market chain; etc.

4. Under the 10th EDF (2010 to 2015; Improving and Integrating
Animal Health Services in the Livestock Value Chain through Public
Private Dialogue in Ethiopia (LVC-PPD) - Euro 10.2 million (2010 –
2015)
The LVC-PPD builds on the experience of previous EU funded
projects in the animal health sector ( PARC, PACE, etc) and
aims at complementing similar ongoing activities.
The LVC-PPD specifically aimed to build the capacity and
improve the efficiency of the public and private veterinary
sector in livestock value chains through innovative approaches
to improve animal health services delivery.
4
5. Its implementation strategy LVC-PPD hinges on
public-private policy dialogue, an approach that
is increasingly recognized as having the potential
to stimulate economic development
The program was directly implemented by the
MoA with one component implemented by EVA
mainly on rationalization of the veterinary
service,
5
6. The Final valuation revealed that the LVC-PPD paved the
way for a paradigm change in the way veterinary services
are perceived and implemented in Ethiopia, and suggesting
policy and service delivery changes that will have
profound and transformative impacts.
Other specific recommendation of the final evaluation were on the
need to continue supporting:
oThe National Animal Disease Surveillance System (NADSS),
oThe Animal Disease Notification and Identification System
(ADNIS),
oThe Livestock Identification, and the Traceability System
(LITS),

7. The EC SHARE Funded: Pursuing Pastoral Resilience (PPR)
through improved animal health service delivery in pastoral areas
of Ethiopia. (2014 to 2019 - Euro 9,25 mio.)
The PPR aims to strengthening of the disease surveillance system
for most TADs (in particular PPR, SGP, CCPP and FMD)
while control focus primarily on PPR and secondly on SGP in
pastoral areas.
The main outcome is a an improved understanding of animal
disease status in pastoral/agro-pastoral areas combined with
improved capacity for animal disease control and sustainable
animal health service delivery,

8. Other EU funded projects contributing to the
livestock sector
The EU Resilience Building Ethiopia program (EU
RESET) funded projects are also providing support in the
livestock sector specifically in the area of animal health such
as: supporting vaccination activities, capacity building of the
local vet services and also promoting outreach service delivery
through CAHWs;
The recently initiated EU TF funded Cross border
projects (Kenya and Somalia) are having livestock
health component including strengthening disease
information system, 8
9. HEARD (Health of Ethiopian Animals
for Rural Development)
11th EDF (Euro 15 million - 2018 to 2022)
In line with the 11th EDF support for Ethiopia
(around total 740 million - 2015-2022), HEARD
aims to enhance the quality and quantity of
integrated veterinary services delivery.
9
10. The design of the HEARD is based on the experiences
and lessons gained from the completed LVC-PPD with
focus on capacity building at grass root levels –
Regions – woredas .
It seeks to provide direct support to improving the
quality of integrated public and private veterinary
service delivery;
It is complementary to the on-going EC SHARE funded
FAO PPR project, and other similar government and
donor funded project's initiatives. 10
11. The Interventions under HEARD expected to :
Strengthen the quality of public and private
veterinary services through the creation of an
enabled and rationalized environment)
Up-skilling technical competencies of the
veterinary service providers.
Addressing specific food safety concerns in the
internal and export market chains.
11
12. The HEARD actions will directly contribute to
the Government Livestock Master Plan (LMP)
by strengthening the critically important
activity of Animal Health,
The livestock development – Animal Health
targets in the Growth and Transformation Plan
(GTP II – 2016 to 2020).

15. The overall implementation of the HEARD is
coordinated by the Federal MoA – Livestock sector, in
collaboration with four implementing partners received
direct award:
International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and
the Ethiopian Veterinary Association (EVA),
