Vaccinate the dog & protect the family.

Vaccinate at least 70% of dogs and the cycle breaks. Aston rabies at the source.

Since establishment in 1951, AU-IBAR (African Union - InterAfrican Bureau for Animal Resources), now a specialized Technical Office of the @_AfricanUnion under the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy and Sustainable Environment (DARBE), has played a pivotal role in the search for solutions to livestock diseases on the continent and is credited with the elimination of Rinderpest. The organization has also Strengthened Africa’s voice in international animal health and trade fora by developing common continental positions.
Grateful to exchange views with the Head of Mission, Dr. Huyam Salih, on Kenya’s pivotal role as a host to this AU organ and four other crucial institutions of the AU. We look forward to supporting the institution in its ambition to develop an AU Campus in Nairobi. @au_ibar@_AfricanUnion@ForeignOfficeKE
