This report examines the participation and effectiveness of Veterinary Statutory Bodies (VSBs) across Africa. It highlights significant disparities in compliance with OIE standards, with only 43% adherence reported. Insights into the operational challenges faced, including budget constraints ranging from USD 75 to 800,000, and varying roles of line ministries, reveal the complexities of veterinary governance. Recommendations for improving stakeholder awareness, establishing VSBs in unregulated countries, and promoting regional cooperation aim to enhance veterinary service governance across the continent.

  10. DISCUSSION

  11. Compliance of the VSBs with OIE standards is low (43%) • Annual budgets may vary from USD 75 – 800,000 (independence ?) • Line Ministries play a passive to active role (independence ?) DISCUSSION

  12. Compliance of the VSBs with OIE standards is low (43%) • Annual budgets may vary from USD 75 – 800,000 (independence ?) • Line Ministries play a passive to active role (independence ?) • Countries with no VSB : delays in adopting legislation • Little cross-border or regional cooperation or harminisation

  13. IN CONCLUSION

  14. IN CONCLUSION • Scarcity of resources, • Veterinary profession largely dominated by the public services • Low awareness of stakeholders • Functional VSB’s require the rule of law, democracy and the strict separa-tionof the three powers of the State.

  15. IN CONCLUSION • Continue raising general awareness of requirements for good governan-ceof the veterinary services, • Establish VSB’s in countries that have not yet done so, • Improve compliance with OIE standards in other countries • Improve linkages between VSBs and VEEs in order to strengthen the grip of VSBs on the supply and demand.

  16. IN CONCLUSION • Regional coordination and harmonisation is critical • Continental oversight ? • Learn from what VEEs are doing • Engage in twinning of VSBs
