Summary: | This study aims to build on the findings
from the previously mentioned studies, and seeks to provide
more detailed information on the costs of the various
functions and categories of expenditure involved in the
establishment and operation of system for the prevention and
control of emerging zoonotic diseases at country and global
level. It will also seek to provide information on
efficiency and effectiveness gains that will result from the
introduction of a One Health approach. With these aims, the
study has two target audiences: (a) project planners, who
will benefit from the information of the costs of setting up
surveillance and control systems to be used as benchmarks
when planning preparedness and control operations; and (b)
policy planners at the decision-making level, who would use
the information on the efficiency and effectiveness gains to
guide them in the decision-making process regarding the
eventual introduction of One Health. This report
disaggregates costs by task, making explicit those
activities that are critical for effectiveness and
identifying scope for efficiencies. The analysis draws on a
range of data sources and earlier work, including integrated
national action plans for, and World Bank staff appraisal
reports on, avian and pandemic influenzas responses, a
survey of the directors of wildlife services, assessments of
veterinary systems in developing countries, and OIE (Office
International des Epizooties - World Organization for Animal
Health) analyses of disease prevention systems. |
