Terminal report of technical assistance mission to the pan african veterinary vaccine centre (2nd February 2004 - 31st August 2005) : final draft report

The European Development Fund (7th and 8th EDF) decided to support the transitional/interim period of PANVAC in the framework of the Pan African Programme for the control of epizootics (PACE, REG/500/005). The Financing Agreement No 6125/REG for the regional PACE programme, funded as a grant from the Regional Indicative programme of the 7 and 8th European Development Fund, was signed between the European Commission and the OAU/IBAR on 30 August 1999. The overall objective of this programme is to relieve, in Africa, the poverty of those involved in the livestock-farming sector (producers, service providers and consumers) by improving animal productivity, trade and food security through effective and efficient animal diseases control programmes. PANVAC technical execution was tendered in July 2000 and awarded to CIRAD-EMVT. The posting of two experts mentioned in the contract could not take place then, due to the absence of Host country agreement between the then OAU/IBAR and Ethiopian authorities, so that the quality control activities of PANVAC were suspended from July 2000 up to February 2004. Later on, after the signature of PANVAC Headquarters Agreement (July 2003), the Centre restarted in February 2004 with the arrival of the Technical Assistant fielded by CIRAD-EMVT. A second Technical Assistant -CBPP specialist was posted in September 2004 under contract between AU/IBAR and GTZ/SATEC. This consultancy mission report outlines the activities carried out during this transitional period of PANVAC (1st February 2004 - 31st August 2005) and supported by the European Development Funds through PACE programme, with the objectives to resume PANVAC's core functions and to assist African Union in the institutionalisation process of the Centre as a Regional Technical Office.
