Background
Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti last January, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) developed the Animal Relief Coalition of Haiti (ARCH). 19 animal welfare agencies from around the world joined IFAW and WSPA to provide a $1.04M managed fund to the Minstery of Agriculture, Natural Rescources, and Rural Development (MARNDR).
Discussion and Observations
The relief and recovery efforts were based around six objectives: 1. Mobile veterinary clinic 2. Public Outreach emphasizing disaster preparedness, disease prevention, and animal welfare 3. Educational outreach to include an animal welfare curriculum for school-aged children 4. Cold-chain: to provide solar-powered refer/freezer units in remote sections of Haiti to keep vaccines cold 5. Dog and cat survey in Port-au-Prince 6. Rebuilding of the National Laboratory The purpose of this presentation will be to discuss how ARCH was developed and Best Practices and Lessons Learned from a collaborative approach to animal relief and recovery.
