On 29–30 September 2026, the TAFS Forum hosted the regional conference “Enhancing FMD Control in a Changing Environment” in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with the support of the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture and Vétérinaires Sans Frontières (VSF) Suisse. The event brought together more than 70 representatives from the public and private sectors across Northern Africa and the Middle East to assess the evolving FMD situation, including the spread of SAT strains, and to identify practical opportunities to strengthen preparedness and cross-border cooperation.
