Common gaps identified The funding of the Veterinary services is often inadequate. Staffing of the veterinary services is insufficient in most of the countries. There is a frequent lack of coordination with other agencies and the private sector. Disease surveillance, prevention and control is undermined by gaps in the reporting system (both from field and from slaughterhouses), shortcomings in outbreak investigations

Common gaps identified There is a lack of awareness and legal provisions on animal welfare, except in exporting sectors. There is an overall lack of communication (especially on food safety) and of consultation with stakeholders There is a lack of legislative basis, autonomy and functional capacity of the Veterinary Statutory Bodies (VSB) Legislation and regulations are often inadequate and not comprehensive (especially on Veterinary Public Health and food safety),
