Description
The initiative described in the document, "EC 4bTB”, presented by the Istituto Zooprofilattico di Teramo (IZS), aims to support Eritrean institutions in developing a national eradication pro-gram for Brucellosis (BR) and Bovine Tuberculosis (TB), focusing on the Debub and Maekel regions, the most densely populated areas. The One Health approach integrates animal, human, and environmental health, improving dairy sector productivity and reducing the risk of zoonotic disease transmission. The activities include strengthening diagnostic capacity, digitiz-ing health data, and training personnel. The project is data-driven, relying on data collection and analysis to guide policy and operational decisions. Beneficiaries include livestock farm-ers, health institutions, the Eritrean Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Health. The needs analysis has highlighted gaps in the diagnosis, pre-vention, and control of zoonotic diseases, along with the need to strengthen the National Animal and Plant Health Laborato-ry (NAPHL) and improve epidemiological data management. Over a 24-month period, the project will contribute to building an effective surveillance system, supporting local institutions, and promoting food security through the adoption of preven-tion strategies based on international standards.
