About us

The proposed project aims at improving the economic viability at cross-border areas of Armenia and Georgia through awareness building campaigns on prevention and control of trans-boundary diseases, improvement of herd management strategies and development of private veterinary business capacities.

The rural cross-border areas face serious challenges with regard to economic growth, employment opportunities, infrastructure provision and access to services. Among these challenges the animal health prevention plays one of the central roles. Therefore there is a need in Armenia and in Georgia for private animal disease surveillance systems that can complement the national program as well as will serve in preventing disease spread through borders, losses in livestock production, increase in farm income, and reduction of persistent threats to human health. Protecting livestock against diseases and preventing their spread is vital to fighting hunger, poverty, and malnutrition in the project targeted regions.
