The OIE supports its Member Countries and helps them strengthen
and improve the structure of their national animal health systems
in line with the Organisation’s intergovernmental standards, notably
by acting on the quality of the national Veterinary Services,
diagnostic laboratories and veterinary education.
To help developing and emerging countries deal effectively with
health threats, the OIE provides support through a range of
programmes, notably within the framework of the PVS
(Performance of Veterinary Services) Pathway, aimed at
consolidating national animal health systems by providing
customised assistance. These programmes are partly financed from
contributions received by the OIE Animal and Welfare World Fund.
OIE’s solidarity programmes notably include :
Capacity-building activities to
harmonise the contents of veterinary
education worldwide.
The provision of vaccines to
facilitate the implementation of
global eradication programmes
for priority diseases such as
rabies in dogs, foot and mouth
disease and peste des petits
ruminants.
Technical assistance to provide
expertise for efficient
surveillance, updated disease
control methods and national
strategies of veterinary systems.
