| dc.description | Frontline animal health officers, who regularly deal with private sector stakeholders along the livestock value chain, play a fundamental role in supporting enforcement of One Health-related policies, strategies, laws and good practices. However, there's little systematic information on the way they operate on the ground, including on the constraints and challenges they face and the rules and procedures they follow when performing their duties. The FAO and the government of Ethiopia joined forces to fill this information gap and conducted a survey on a complete enumeration basis of fronline animal health officers operating in Ada'a and Sululta Districts. Results of the survey point to both institutional and procedural bottlenecks that prevent animal health officers to efficiently delivery their services on the ground, such as lack of any transport allowance, little knowledge of the existing animal health laws and regulations and unclear rules for career progression. Small investments could often suffice to address many of the identified bottlenecks. | |
