Implementation of WOAH Standards: the Second Observatory Monitoring Report
The international standards developed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) contribute to the improvement of animal health, animal welfare, veterinary public health, and facilitate safe trade while avoiding unjustified trade barriers. It is of major importance to understand the level of implementation of WOAH standards and identify barriers to implementation. The second Observatory Monitoring Report provides insights into how Members use these standards, highlights existing gaps, and draws on WOAH’s growing expertise in data-driven approach for informed decision-making.
The Second Observatory Monitoring Report
This second WOAH Observatory Monitoring Report offers insights into the use of WOAH standards by Members and identifies existing gaps. It benefits from WOAH’s growing expertise, a more integrated approach and valuable feedback from Members and partners following the publication of the first report – particularly regarding its format, methodology and the inclusion of success stories.
Starting with this iteration, the report will be published every five years in alignment with the cycles of WOAH’s Strategic Plans. It will serve as a key element of the Organisation’s digital transformation and sets a baseline for the ongoing development of the 8th Strategic Plan.

Each technical section within the report is accompanied by an interactive dashboard, offering a range of disaggregation options by region, disease, group of diseases or time period.
