The Second Observatory Monitoring Report: Zoning and compartmentalisation

Zoning and compartmentalisation can help reduce the impact of animal diseases and enable disease control. Further, these measures can enable international trade or limit its disruption if a disease is identified in a given population. Zoning and compartmentalisation should be implemented by the national competent
authorities and may be recognised through bilateral agreements between trading partners for the purpose of international trade, leveraging international standards developed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH). The Observatory assessed the adoption of these standards by WOAH Members.
