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
