This article outlines what the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE) Observatory entails, as well as its objectives, direction and progress achieved so far. It explains the benefits this data-driven programme offers as a system of improved access to data and analysis of information whilst ensuring confidentiality, as well as the challenges it faces and its inexorable link to the Organisation’s data management. The development of the Observatory is of the utmost importance, not only because of its relevance to the development of WOAH International Standards and their implementation worldwide, but also because of the role it plays as one of the drivers of WOAH’s digital transformation plan.
