Within the GBADs Approach, evaluation of the burden of animal diseases is broken down into different methodological Working Groups, and the methods will be applied to case studies which will be conducted at production system, regional, country and sector levels.
The Ethiopia case study, led by the International Livestock Research Institute, with the support of the GBADs directorate and Working Groups. This webpage is intended to communicate the activities and outputs of GBADs Ethiopia case study.
