Following requests from many developing countries, a compilation of major experiences of animal health services has been prepared in the form of this publication. The document is based on previous Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) publications such as Standard of Veterinary Services (1974), World Health Organization (WHO) and International Office of Epizootics (OIE) publications, literature sources and technical reports dealing with this subject. Personal experiences of FAO experts and of the participants of the FAO Expert Consultation on Animal Health Services in Developing Countries, Rome, 15-19 October 1990, represent a very important contribution to this document.

    The project was very relevant to the priorities of the Government of Mongolia ministries and veterinary practitioners in public and private sectors. The activities taken by the project significantly enhanced the capacity of the General Authority of Veterinary Services by providing technical, policy, planning and management support, upgrading laboratories with equipment and trainings working closely with the staff working at the primary level of animal health service including the Private Veterinary Unit, as well as improving the digitalization of the animal health service. These collective efforts contributed effectively to deliver strengthened animal health services in Mongolia. The project ensured the sustainability of its result effectively through development of policy documents and transboundary animal disease control strategies, capacity building trainings. However, challenges may arise, particularly in the areas of insufficient finance, the absence of a Veterinary Statutory Body, and the potential of failure to control disease outbreaks effectively if cases resurface.Throughout the project implementation, the project's adaptability and flexibility played a pivotal role, successfully adjusting originally planned activities and budget to address emergency needs in the country. The effective management of disease outbreaks during the project further underscored its resilience and impact. The report provides 4 conclusions, 6 recommendations and several lessons learned.
