DOVAR– PPR Outbreak reports2017-2018

HEARDInception Workshop, ILRI, 29March
• Piloting started in 2014, 280sites
• Expansion of ADNISby the project isunderway
• ADNISToTgiven to 58 experts from 6 regions
• ADNIScascaded to 686 vets from 6regions
Constraints
• Expansion of ADNIS suspended in 2018 due to server and security
related issues
• Internet-based has become functional in January 2019
• Project supported the development of an option to transmit the ODK report
as an SMS message to the ADNIS server
• Guidelines including incentive scheme is yet to be endorsed by the MoA
Key achievements: Result 1.1.b Improved disease notification - ADNIS

HEARDInception Workshop, ILRI, 29March

displayed/distributed to stakeholders during different
events
Radio messages about PPR symptoms, prevention and
control broadcasted for 3 months in 3 local languages
TV message on PPR broadcasted for 3 months inAfar
and Somali languages
Project impact radio-documentary produced and
broadcasted for 3 weeks

3. Strategicimpacts

HEARDInception Workshop, ILRI, 29March
• Ownership of the project: project mentality vs national program
• Weak technical and administrative linkages between federal and
regional livestock services
• Variation in theimplementation capacity of regional bureaus /
BCOs
• Weak inter-regional state coordination to control and eradicate
disease and PPRin particular
• Weak coordination with neighboring countries to control and
eradicate PPR
• Uncontrolledlivestock mobility for different reasons (trade,
seasonal, drought, conflictetc.)
• Security issues in someregions
4. Challenges

HEARDInception Workshop, ILRI, 29March
• Focus on the National PPR Control and Eradication Program
• Strengthening theNational PPRCoordination Office
• Sharing lessons learnt from EU-SHAREPPRproject to new
projects and the national program
• Establish a direct chain of command for implementation of
the national programme
• Strengthen inter-regional coordination for efficient
implementation of the national strategy
• Strengthen coordination with neighboring countries oncross
border control of PPRspread
• More stringent control on livestock movementwithin and
across international border
