Estimating Dog Populations
English
For stakeholders responsible for estimating dog populations to inform planning and implementation of dog vaccination campaigns.
Estimating dog populations supports effective planning and implementation of mass dog vaccination campaigns for rabies control. While precise estimates improve resource allocation, strategy selection, and evaluation, vaccination should not be delayed when data are limited.
This guide outlines practical methodologies and tools to help stakeholders estimate dog populations and use available data to plan and implement effective mass dog vaccination programmes.
