Canine rabies elimination: governance principles
Abstract:
Rabies is still one of the deadliest diseases known to exist in the 21st century, and yet it remains irresponsibly neglected and underestimated. In light of this, this paper discusses the principles of governance as they relate to rabies control, using examples of global intersectoral coordination programmes for the control of canine rabies and for the elimination of human rabies transmitted by dogs. The first of these programmes was the Meeting of Rabies Program Directors of the Americas (REDIPRA), which has served as a model of intersectoral success for rabies elimination in other regions. Examples of intersectoral cooperation on several continents, mainly between the health and agriculture sectors, are detailed to discuss various methods of achieving better technical cooperation. These cooperation programmes follow the 'coalition model' set by REDIPRA. They bring together various actors, such as governments, non-governmental organisations, the private sector, the science and research community, international cooperation agencies and donors, under a common umbrella for advocacy and for the implementation of local projects for the elimination of human rabies transmitted by dogs. Networking is the main intersectoral governance mechanism presented in this review.
