Rabies Elimination Progress

Latest SARE score: 1.5 (2023)
In-country SARE assessment done: Yes
(2023)

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.

 

According to the United Against Rabies (UAR) Rabies Roadmap, a SARE score of 1.5 out of 5 signifies the following: "Dog-mediated rabies is endemic. The country is in the process of building an evidence-base in support of the development and implementation of rabies elimination initiatives at the national-level."
