Agencies
• The Australian Agency for International
Development (AusAID) manages Australia’s
international development assistance
program

plan and deliver capacity building programs
• For animal health issues, the main agencies
working with AusAID are DAFF and ACIAR

Why be a donor?
• Humanitarian prerogative
• National borders do not protect against EIDs
• Asia a ‘hot spot’ for emerging infectious
diseases (EIDs), many of which are zoonotic
• Veterinary services are a global public good
• Assisting developing countries improve their
veterinary services helps Australia to
manage the risks of animal diseases

Guiding principles and practices• Principles of aid effectiveness
• Paris Declaration and Accra Agenda for
Action
•ownership, alignment, harmonisation,
managing for results and mutual
accountability
![Page 7: Capacity building to support strengthening of veterinary legislation Donor country perspective – Australia Dr Joffrid Mackett Consul (Agriculture) - Middle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55153c0c55034673228b5c4a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Guiding principles and practices• For Australia, this means working in
partnership with recipient countries and other
donors to achieve sustainable development
• Align aid with partner government’s priorities
• Strengthen systems for the long term
• Avoid duplication
• Use existing mechanisms and approaches e.g OIE
standards and guidelines
![Page 8: Capacity building to support strengthening of veterinary legislation Donor country perspective – Australia Dr Joffrid Mackett Consul (Agriculture) - Middle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55153c0c55034673228b5c4a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Guiding principles and practices• Australia’s focus –
• strengthening aid effectiveness
• achieving measurable outcomes
• sustainability
• gender
![Page 9: Capacity building to support strengthening of veterinary legislation Donor country perspective – Australia Dr Joffrid Mackett Consul (Agriculture) - Middle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55153c0c55034673228b5c4a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A word about gender
• Australia’s aid program aims to help
promote gender equality
• The different vulnerabilities, needs and
roles of men and women are taken into
account as programs are designed
![Page 10: Capacity building to support strengthening of veterinary legislation Donor country perspective – Australia Dr Joffrid Mackett Consul (Agriculture) - Middle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55153c0c55034673228b5c4a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Governance
• Australian Government programs must be
managed to ensure efficient, effective and
ethical use of resources
• Measuring performance is integral
• Office of Development Effectiveness
monitors the quality and evaluates the
impact of the Australian aid program
• Continual improvement through monitoring
and review of programs; modify as needed
![Page 11: Capacity building to support strengthening of veterinary legislation Donor country perspective – Australia Dr Joffrid Mackett Consul (Agriculture) - Middle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55153c0c55034673228b5c4a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Working with OIE to improve veterinary legislation
• The OIE provides tools to support capacity
building in animal health e.g.
• international standards for the evaluation
of veterinary services
• guidelines on veterinary legislation
• OIE Tool for the Evaluation of Performance
of Veterinary Services (OIE PVS Tool)
• Australia integrates these existing
mechanisms into its programs where possible
![Page 12: Capacity building to support strengthening of veterinary legislation Donor country perspective – Australia Dr Joffrid Mackett Consul (Agriculture) - Middle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55153c0c55034673228b5c4a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Working with OIE to improve veterinary legislation
• Veterinary legislation is a fundamental
principle of quality of veterinary services in
Article 3.1.2 of the Terrestrial Animal Health
Code
• It is necessary for good governance and for
effective implementation of the core activities
of veterinary services
![Page 13: Capacity building to support strengthening of veterinary legislation Donor country perspective – Australia Dr Joffrid Mackett Consul (Agriculture) - Middle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55153c0c55034673228b5c4a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
An example in our region
• The OIE/AusAID Project to Strengthen
Veterinary Services to Combat Avian
Influenza and Other Priority Diseases in
South East Asia (the PSVS program)
• a program that integrates existing OIE
standards and tools to assist countries
improve veterinary legislation and
governance
![Page 14: Capacity building to support strengthening of veterinary legislation Donor country perspective – Australia Dr Joffrid Mackett Consul (Agriculture) - Middle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55153c0c55034673228b5c4a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
PSVS
• Aims to enhance capacity of Southeast Asian
countries to detect and respond to EIDs
• Takes a regional approach - co-operation
between neighbouring countries is essential
to effectively combat transboundary animal
diseases
• Veterinary legislation and governance a key
technical focus of the program
![Page 15: Capacity building to support strengthening of veterinary legislation Donor country perspective – Australia Dr Joffrid Mackett Consul (Agriculture) - Middle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55153c0c55034673228b5c4a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The future
• Australia wants to see:
• laws that work to control EIDS in the
region
• programs owned by the countries
• sustainable change
• performance measurement
• mutual accountability
• a partnership approach
![Page 16: Capacity building to support strengthening of veterinary legislation Donor country perspective – Australia Dr Joffrid Mackett Consul (Agriculture) - Middle](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55153c0c55034673228b5c4a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The future
• Donors will be guided by recipient country
priorities
• Governments and central bureaucracies need
to understand the importance of animal
health to national economies and
population well-being
