Corporate Structure

IBAR’s programme activity is structured in strategic thrusts

• Animal health
• Animal production
• Trade and marketing

These programme units are cross-cuttingly supported by livestock information, communication and knowledge management

Geographically IBAR operates from a head office in Nairobi and Regional Animal Health Centres (RAHCs) covering

• West and Central Africa from Bamako/Mali
• East Africa from Nairobi/Kenya
• Southern Africa from Gaborone/Botswana

The RAHCs are cooperated with OIE and FAO to coordinate and harmonise strategies for the monitoring and evaluation of transboundary animal diseases, including highly pathogenic avian influenza activities.

Project Support Unit (PSU)

The PSU is a unit within IBAR that supports the various affiliated projects IBAR is implementing together with international cooperating partners. It assures the quality of the operations and facilitates synergy effects by centralising common services previously maintained by each project separately.
