The newsletter is an initiative by the Emergency Center for Transboundary Animal Disease (ECTAD) Programme in Ethiopia, implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The aim of the newsletter is to provide information on program updates, promote the One Health approach in Ethiopia and stimulating additional partnerships and collaborations within and outside FAO. The newsletter is intended to both internal and external audience: FAO staff, government ministries, development partners, donors, non-governmental organizations, academic and educational programs, professional societies, the private sector, media and the general public. This publication contains major news, events, and programme progress covering the third quarter (April - June) of 2018. Major issues highlighted in this newsletter include evaluation of national animal health surveillance system; rabies awareness creation event; revision of national antimicrobial-related legislations; validation and dissemination of a baseline assessment on antimicrobial use and resistance in animal health; and joint multi-sectoral investigation of a rabies outbreak. It also presents a wide range of supports provided to the National Animal Health Diagnostic Investigation Center (NAHDIC); and the launching of a project to enhance surveillance capabilities and underlying policy frameworks in selected East African countries including Ethiopia.
