In response to a request by African member countries in Phase 1 of the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), FAO developed the Surveillance Evaluation Tool (SET) to assess animal disease surveillance systems and provide country specific recommendations for improvement in the form of an action plan. After piloting the toolkit in Tanzania and Liberia, the toolkit was finalized and made available to other countries. An evaluation mission in Kenya was conducted in November-December 2017 and a report was drafted, which was shared with the veterinary services. The report was then adapted to fit FAO publications template to be posted online, with approval of the Chief Veterinary Officer in Kenya. Sharing this report publicly will provide financial and technical partners details on findings and recommendations to improve Kenya's animal and zoonotic disease surveillance, and will contribute to a multifaceted approach to capacity building in the country, and in the region. In addition, it will enhance transparency of the work done by FAO under GHSA and with financing from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Lastly, other countries reading the report may see benefits in undergoing SET evaluation missions themselves.
