Introduction**

The IGAD Centre for Pastoral Areas and Livestock Development (ICPALD) is a specialized technical office of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), based in Nairobi, Kenya. ICPALD's mandate is to support and harmonize and coordinate policies and strategies for development and utilization of livestock as a resource for both human wellbeing and economic development in the Member States of IGAD. The mission of ICPALD is to provide leadership in the development of animal resources for the region through supporting and empowering eastern Africa regional animal health networks (RAHN) and regional working groups and sub-working groups.
Under this mission, ICPALD and FAO Emergency Centre for transboundary animal diseases (ECTAD) have developed a framework to mainstream livestock in the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development program (CAADP) pillars, in which addressing the impacts of animal diseases is a priority area.

In a bid to address the challenges posed by endemic TADs and zoonoses in the IGAD region, the African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) in partnership with IGAD, with financial support from the European Union (EU), is implementing a regional project entitled “Improving animal disease surveillance in support of trade (STDS) in IGAD Member States)". The objective of the STSD project is to reduce the impact of TADs and zoonoses on food security, trade and resilience of livestock farmers. The two expected results of the project include (1) Systems for animal identification, traceability and health certification improved, and (2) Surveillance systems and disease control strategies at national and regional levels improved.
**
Context and rationale**

Member states (MS) in the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) region and East Africa Community (EAC) are endowed with large livestock resources that represent the highest proportions in Africa. According to FAO’s 2012 estimate, IGAD possesses 45% of Africa’s cattle, 71.4% of Africa’s camels and 35% of Africa’s small ruminant population. As a result of such enormous resources, livestock supports the livelihood of millions of citizens in the region as they represent main sources of food and income in the region. In general, livestock is considered as a key driver to ensure food security and poverty reduction, and therefore economic growth in the IGAD region is highly dependent on the performance of this sector.

However, the performance of the livestock sector in the region is hampered by numerous challenges that cause hindrance to fully unlock the potential of the sector for improving the livelihood of all value-chain actors. Throughout Africa, the livestock sector is seriously constrained by inadequate public and private sector investments despite its great leverage potential. This situation assumes even greater importance in the IGAD region where livestock production and trade contribute significantly to the national and agricultural GDPs of the Member States. Livestock production in the region is characterized by limited access to crucial inputs and services, high prevalence of diseases, low productivity of indigenous livestock breeds, poor physical infrastructure, limited access to markets and information as well as recurrent natural disasters.

Animal diseases are one of the main constraints that lower the performance of the livestock sector in IGAD region. By reducing the productivity of livestock, diseases significantly lower the quantity and quality of animal products and consequently erode household nutrition, income and food security. In this regard, diseases also contribute to increase vulnerability and weaken resilience of livestock-dependent communities to natural disasters. It is reported that ten out of the fifteen internationally known trans-boundary diseases (TADs) are prevalent in the IGAD region. Furthermore, the region also suffers from a massive burden of endemic as well as emerging zoonotic diseases. Through improving animal disease surveillance and livestock identification and traceability systems, Member States could precisely understand their sanitary status and thus launch harmonized and coordinated disease control and certification programs as well as facilitate free movement of livestock commodities in their quest to enhance intra-regional and export trade of livestock commodities. Livestock identification and traceability system (LITS) is a tool used for the management of herd/flocks, animal health and food safety and could be used for this purpose.

In order to realize practical changes in the livestock sector; however, the regional networks such as EAREN, EARLN and CVOs (Regional Animal Health Network - RAHN) need to be adequately engaged in development programmes. Furthermore, they should have access to new technologies and knowledge in order to modernize and improve disease surveillance and control. Other important sub-networks and sub-groups have been established to work hand-in-hand with RAHN.
In this regard, ICPALD, through the STSD project, plans to develop visibility and communication materials that will primarily focus on coordination, networking and information sharing that are the main functions of the CVOs network, EAREN and EARLN network. These visibility and communication materials will be closely linked to the importance of disease surveillance, prevention and control; and must clearly show the difference from the previous awareness creation on LITS and disease reporting. The campaign will involve dissemination of information through radios, posters, brochures, public gatherings, etc. It is believed that these approaches will be instrumental to strengthen networking, information sharing and coordination between the established regional RAHN as well as bringing about the desired attitude change among stakeholders engaged in livestock development and other value-chain activities.

For this purpose, ICPALD is seeking the services of an experienced communication consultant who will spearhead development of the visibility and communication for RAHN activities in the IGAD and EAC regions.
