Monitoring Self-declaration and official status for animal diseases

Members of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) can self-declare the animal health status of their territory (country, zone or compartment), in line with WOAH standards. WOAH grants official recognition of animal health status for entire countries or zone(s). In addition, WOAH endorses official control programmes for CBPP, FMD, PPR and dog-mediated rabies. Monitoring the implementation of self-declarations and official status can bring valuable insights for both WOAH and WOAH Members.
