| dc.description | The livestock sub-sector is a major feature in Ghana’s agriculture and contributes largely towards meeting food needs, providing dietary protein and increasing nutrient adequacy, providing employment opportunities, offering considerable prospects for wealth generation, income enhancement and improvement in rural livelihoods. Enhancing local capacities of animal disease surveillance and reporting systems are crucial to protect livestock, people’s income and food security. In light of this, FAO has launched an Event Mobile Application to support surveillance and reporting mechanisms in Ghana for priority animal diseases. The introduction of EMA-i was timely for the animal health sector as Ghana is seeking to enhance agricultural extension delivery through an e-extension system for farmers. The EMA-i system complements and synergizes with existing and upcoming e-platforms in contributing to food and nutrition security. | |
