"Foroyaa's concern is the speed of the reaction to what is essentially a disaster. A National Animal Health Emergency has been declared and a Rapid Response Team established comprising representatives from 10 institutions.
Finance is the key to the initiation of an effective nationwide vaccination campaign. Foroyaa has learned that 24 Million dalasi should do the job. UN Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) has provided 14 Million dalasi. At the moment, there is a funding gap of D10 Million. The Government has allocated 34 Million dalasi or 1 Million dollars to assist the troops destined to protect the territorial integrity of Mali. It is therefore urgent for government to get the money to provide the ten Million dalasi needed to save the cattle population. Speedy action is necessary. The media houses that are invited to meet the president at the airport should quiz the President on the National Animal Health Emergency and the way forward."
