Dr Huyam Salih- AU IBAR Director

The African Union–InterAfrican Bureau for Animal Resources has challenged African countries to strengthen animal health information systems by investing in accurate, reliable, and usable livestock data.

The bureau said quality data remains central in disease surveillance, livestock planning, and effective response to animal health threats across Africa.

Its Director, Dr Huyam Salih, said that while a two-day workshop held in Nairobi had achieved its objectives, the real test would be how countries implement the lessons learnt after returning home.
