Preparing Africa’s Priorities for 2027

December 2026 will provide an important preparation period for African stakeholders ahead of the 2027 WOAH General Session and the WOAH Regional Commission conference.

Rather than being a single fixed-date conference, this activity is intended to support Africa-specific consultation, preparation and coordination ahead of major WOAH engagements in 2027.

The uploaded ICFAW activity plan identifies December as the appropriate period for developing an Africa-focused preparation process, including consultation and a briefing package for the December ICFAW meeting and preparation for future side events or exhibition activities.

The WOAH Africa calendar currently confirms that the 27th Conference of the WOAH Regional Commission for Africa is scheduled for 22–26 February 2027 in Harare, Zimbabwe.

December therefore offers an opportunity for African animal-health and animal-welfare stakeholders to consolidate priorities, evidence and messages ahead of the 2027 regional and global WOAH processes.

Registration: No registration link is currently available because the December activity is identified as a preparation and consultation period rather than a single public event.

Date: To be agreed
