Cross-Border Policy Coherence & Practices on Live Animal, Animal Health Products & Animal Health Management

INTRODUCTION

Trade and the regulation of animal health are important areas of focus for the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) region, which includes Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Uganda. IGAD Centre for Pastoral Areas and Livestock Development (ICPALD) organized a panel discussion on cross-border trade and transboundary animal disease (TAD) during the Regional Pastoralism Day and Expo (January 2024) celebrated in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Participants of the panel discussion were drawn from diverse backgrounds based on their extensive experience on the subject matter.
