Global impact assessments

WHO page on health impact assessment (HIA) (http://www.who.int/hia/en/): This page includes a set of useful resources, including definitions and glossary. It also provides some examples of HIAs, although none specifically for animals, livestock or food. There is, however, one example of an impact assessment of agriculture and food policies for Slovenia (http://www.who.int/hia/examples/agriculture/whohia008/en/). Anyone aware of further examples to share?

One of NEAT’s aims is to promote the best use of economics by animal health professionals. The techniques and tools used in economics assessments of animal health and welfare build on a range of key concepts and principles. Having these underpinning ideas in mind is the basis for good economic assessment. Below you find a set of questions to test your knowledge. We would like to encourage you to have a look at them and think which key basic concepts and principles they refer to. The answers and explanations will be given next week.
