I. Background:
Since the spread of COVID-19, the Government have issued several regulations and orders to strengthen the wildlife trade management as well as to better prevent the risks of zoonotic diseases transmissions between wildlife and humans like the Directive No. 29/CT-TTg in 2020 on urgent solutions for wildlife protection that aimed at enhancing monitoring and law enforcement of wildlife trade, consumption, and farming management to reduce the risks of future zoonotic pathogen outbreaks, and Directive No. 04/CT-TTg in 2022 on urgent measures to protect migrating wild birds in Viet Nam, Circular 26/2022/TT-BNNPTNT on management and traceability of forestry products including wildlife…
In the last quarters, WCS conducted a Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) survey in Ha Noi, Ha Nam and Bac Ninh, to understand the scope of the wild meat market including motivations for sale/consumption, perception of health risks, and effective barriers to sale and consumption. Some of the key findings from the KAP survey showed that there is a limitation in the knowledge of restaurateurs, consumers and potential consumers who participated in the KAP study on infectious zoonotic diseases from wildlife to humans. In addition, WCS developed the policy brief on health risk management associated with wildlife trade and consumption and guidelines of mitigation measures.
Therefore, WCS is looking for a group of experts/consultancy agency to organize a consultation meeting to share the developed materials with relevant stakeholders to raise their awareness of the health risks and consult the measures to prevent health risks associated with wildlife trade and consumption.
II. Objectives:
To organize a consultation meeting to share the developed documents with relevant stakeholders to raise their awareness of the risks and consult the measures to prevent health risks associated with wildlife trade and consumption.
