📢 IGAD STVS Community Outreach

On 13 September, the Year 3 Veterinary students led by Dr. Abdullahi Mohamed Nur conducted a field tour in Votka village, Sheikh District to support sheep and goat herding families.

The visit followed a community complaint about a disease causing several goat deaths. The team diagnosed the illness as Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) and immediately began treatment using Intercheme Tylosin Macrolan 200 (Holland) at the recommended dosage.

In addition, herders were trained on how to estimate animal body weight with a tape measure, ensuring accurate dosing instead of relying on eye estimation.

💡 This outreach highlights the role of veterinary education in solving real community challenges and promoting animal health.

🌊 World Ocean Day 2025
Theme: Wonder: Sustaining What Sustains Us

On this World Ocean Day, IGAD joins the global community in celebrating the wonder of our oceans—and the life, livelihoods, and inspiration they provide.

As the first Regional Economic Community (REC) in Africa to adopt a Blue Economy Strategy, IGAD has taken a pioneering step toward unlocking the potential of our marine and water-based resources. This milestone was made possible through the valuable support of the European Union and the Government of Sweden, who continue to be strong partners in our blue transformation journey.

This year’s theme—“Wonder: Sustaining What Sustains Us”—is a powerful reminder that our oceans are not only rich in biodiversity but also in opportunity. Let us safeguard this wonder for generations to come.
