our MISSION
Global Burden of Animal Diseases (GBADs) programme will “measure to improve” animal health at a local, national and global level.
GBADs will:
- Provide information for evidence based investment plans for veterinary services – supporting PVS and Gap Analysis
- Allow allocation of resources to key social, economic and environmental problems – strengthening PVS outcomes
- Support high quality evaluation of existing animal health investments demonstrating the value of veterinary services
