This document demonstrates a practical surveillance approach that progresses from measuring broad disease epidemiology and risk factors to specifically evaluating intervention options and documenting low disease prevalence. The process focuses on aligning practical surveillance components with disease programme outcomes, using foot-and-mouth disease as an example.

The tool supports countries in establishing or strengthening a One Health multisectoral coordinated surveillance and information sharing (SIS) system for zoonotic diseases. It provides guidance and a stepwise method for assessing the national structures and mechanisms already in place.

The Surveillance Evaluation Tool (SET) enables countries to enhance their veterinary services’ capacities with specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound action plans. This manual gives SET assessors a full mission breakdown as well as a step-by-step approach for making robust evaluations and precise recommendations.
