Management of Rabies in Côte d’Ivoire

The annual incidence of rabies is around twenty human cases and ten animal cases in Côte d’Ivoire. FAO provides financial and technical support to the country’s National Integrated Rabies Control Program (NIRCP). The national One Health platform has strengthened multidisciplinary collaboration on rabies prevention and control through animal health thematic group meetings. The initial phase of the NIRCP 2018-2030 resulted in the promulgation of Law N°2020-995 of December 30, 2020, on the Veterinary Public Health Code, and its dissemination to the administrative authorities has included regulations on rabies control.
