Programme managers Organization managers
• Programme efficiency vs • Sustain the internal
programme size coalitions behind the
• How is programme size overall objective
determined and by whom? • Raise the ‘average
• Advocacy and ‘selective efficiency’ across all
ignorance’ better than ‘full programmes
knowledge / disclosure’ • Increase resource
• Coalitions that sacrifice mobilization by ‘steered’
budget efficiency for evaluations that
budget size demonstrate resource
efficiency
7. FAO’s Animal Health Programme
Support to national and regional Field data on costs &
disease control programmes impacts
Enhanced animal health services Animal health &
& improved disease control strategies institutional economics
Better understanding of disease
emergence, spread and persistence ‘Economic drivers’
8. ‘Thematic’ Focus Areas
• Impacts of ‘pathogen pollution’ on society at large
• Direct human health ‘costs’
• Regulatory ‘burden’
• Economics of ‘prevention of the known unknown’
• Uncertainty re disease emergence and nature of the emergent
disease(s)
• ‘Optimal’ international ‘division of labour & cost’
9. Methodological Issues
• Incorporation of feedback loops
• Progressive control alters ‘efficiency’ of different control options
• Changing disease risk induces behaviour changes
• Broaden disease control assessments
• Multiple dimensions and differential effects on stakeholder
groups
• Non-linearity of effects
10. Improved Baselines
• Disease burdens and ‘losses’
• Different disease ‘types’
• Stratified by region and ‘livelihoods’ status
• Disease control options / instruments
• What works where under which circumstances
• Short-term benefits vs long(er)-term risks
