September 28th 2023 is the 17th World Rabies Day. This year’s World Rabies Day theme is: “All for 1, One Health for all”. World Rabies Day (WDR), established by the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC) and recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) every September 28, is a transcendental day to promote the fight against this disease and reinforce awareness about its prevention. World Rabies Day is the biggest event on the global rabies calendar, and commemorated every year on September 28 – the anniversary of the death of Louis Pasteur – since 2007. World Rabies Day aims to raise awareness and advocate for rabies elimination globally. It is an event designed to be inclusive, uniting people, organizations, and stakeholders across all sectors against rabies. This year’s World Rabies Day theme, “Rabies: All for 1, One Health for All”. This year Ethiopia has improved its rabies elimination effort and scored 2 out of 5 for the Stepwise Approach towards Rabies Elimination (SARE) evaluation. In 2016 it was 0.5 out of 5. But still, the rabies control and elimination program needs a hard work and support. The SARE evolution is a One Health, practical planning, monitoring, and evaluation tool to guide, develop, and refine rabies control programs. #WorldRabiesDay #OneHealth4All #WRD2023

The Stepwise Approach towards Rabies Elimination (SARE) is a practical planning, monitoring and evaluation tool to guide, develop and refine rabies control programmes. It provides measurable steps, designed as a logical flow of activities, to progress from Stage 0 to Stage 5, in efforts towards freedom from dog-transmitted rabies. A SARE score of 2 out of 5 signifies a country where a national rabies control strategy has been drafted and is being implemented. Happening at Hawassa from August 21-25, 2023.
