About the initiative
Until now, efforts to eliminate rabies have been fragmented across sectors and regions.
In 2015, the world called for action by setting
a global goal of zero human dog-mediated rabies deaths by 2030, worldwide.
WHO, OIE, FAO and GARC have united to deliver a comprehensive strategic plan to reach Zero by 30.
We developed the Plan in consultation with relevant global, regional and country stakeholders. It provides a coordinated response to prevent rabies integrated with strengthening of human and veterinary health systems to reach the world’s most underserved populations. This aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The Theory of Change outlines the societal changes needed to reach our goal.
These changes aim to reduce costs, save lives and provide a means to validate rabies elimination in countries and regions.
Our multi-stakeholder platform engages countries and experts to advance towards Zero by 30. We are creating an enabling environment for change.
