The SAPCB is a guidance document that provides principles, strategies and resources for countries to use to develop capacity to prevent and control brucellosis in animals and people. By linking to guidance provided in the SAPCB, the STEB can help countries develop activities and monitor progress towards brucellosis prevention, control, and elimination. Country pilot workshops will include an introduction to SAPCB, an initial country assessment using the STEB, and an opportunity to draft next steps and action plans that will allow countries to systematically address brucellosis by identifying short and long-term priorities. The objectives of this TCP are to establish a regional network among five recipient countries Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan on priority livestock diseases.
