Rabies Elimination Progress
The Stepwise Approach towards Rabies Elimination (SARE) is a practical planning, monitoring and evaluation tool to guide, develop and refine rabies control programmes. It provides measurable steps, designed as a logical flow of activities, to progress from Stage 0 to Stage 5, in efforts towards freedom from dog-transmitted rabies.
A SARE score of 1.5 out of 5 signifies a country where small-scale rabies control programs are in place and the country is working towards developing a national rabies control programme.

GARC supported the Mozambique government in the Nampula province with the Rabies Vaccination Tracker (RVT) tool on the GARC App.

12 nominated participants working in the Cabo Delgado province of Mozambique joined an online "Rapid In-field Diagnosis and Epidemiology of Rabies" (RAIDER) workshop undertaken in collaboration with the FAO.

GARC assisted by the Mozambican government by uploading their 2018 national dog rabies vaccination data (more than 220,000 records) on to the Rabies Epidemiological Bulletin. Once uploaded, the REB enabled the data to be mapped and visualised for future data-driven decisions.

Attended the "New WHO recommendations on human rabies immunization and results of Gavi’s Learning Agenda on rabies & 2nd international meeting of the Pan-African Rabies Control Network (PARACON)" (more information)

GARC facilitated an offline GARC Education Platform (GEP) training workshops at the Central Veterinary Laboratory which resulted in 10 people receiving their Rabies Educator Certificate and 8 people receiving their Animal Handling and Vaccination Certificate.

GARC provided diagnostic reagents and training for the direct, rapid immunohistochemical test (DRIT). The training and diagnostic reagents enabled laboratory staff to implement confirmatory rabies diagnosis.
