This paper highlights various issues related to provision of animal health services in areas near national boundaries with reference to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia, and also suggests ways of improving service provision and delivery in these areas. Key issues highlighted include constraints in the provision of animal health services, problems related to disease surveillance and reporting, PACE interventions, role of community-based animal health service delivery, and the need for and progress towards regional harmonisation of primary animal health care.
