Today, we support working animals across 26 countries, through a series of global projects and partnerships.

- Supporting the integration of services for working animals within existing animal health systems, through promoting the collaboration of different agents in the animal health, laboratory, pharmaceutical and agricultural sectors.
- It should be noted that the job specification is not exhaustive and the remit may develop over time.
