Rift Valley Fever Early Warning Decision Support Tool (RVF DST)
To strengthen countries’ capacity to anticipate the risk of RVF introduction and outbreaks, FAO, in collaboration with the departments of veterinary services in Kenya, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania, developed a web-based RVF-Decision Support Tool (RVF-DST) that allows the respective chief veterinary offiers to take (in real time) targeted and strategic pre-emptive actions to mitigate the potential risk of RVF outbreaks, thus minimizing the impacts of the disease on public health and livelihoods.

In September 2022 in Bagamoyo, the United Republic of Tanzania, FAO worked to build capacity in RVF monitoring and forecasting to enhance prevention and control in the United Republic of Tanzania, using a One Health approach.
Rinderpest mobile application
The WOAH developed a game that aims to maintain a level of awareness and vigilance related to clinical signs of rinderpest, to help to ensure that our world remains free of this eradicated disease by keeping the memory of it alive. This game is directed towards key players in animal health, such as veterinary students and practitioners, laboratory practitioners, veterinary paraprofessionals and community animal health workers, enabling their full awareness of the role that they must continue to play in the rinderpest post-eradication era. The release of the mobile applicated was planned for the end of 2022.
