GARC supported Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre (KAT) in the Kathmandu province with the Vaccination and Sterilization Tracker (VST) tool on the GARC App.
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 0.5 out of 5 signifies that situational rabies data is being collected and analysed for initiation of local-level intervention campaigns.
This country is not currently using the Rabies Epidemiological Bulletin.
