This paper reports on a situation analysis that assessed the
capacity for response to zoonotic emergencies in 6 countries,
namely Uganda, Kenya, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Rwanda and
Tanzania. Most of the countries did not have policies for
preparedness, technical responses were handled by various
ministries, with very limited cross coordination. Also, there
was generally limited capacity to handle zoonotic emergencies.
