Monitoring movement control
The movement of animals and animal products is a major contributor to the spread of animal diseases. The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE) develops international standards for animal movement control, including quarantine and border security measures. These are crucial to control the spread of diseases within a territory and across countries. Monitoring movement control can bring valuable insights for both WOAH and WOAH Members.
Through its Annual Report, the Observatory presents a global overview of the level of uptake of WOAH standards that relate to monitoring movement control.

Executive summary
How did we monitor the implementation of movement control standards?
Monitoring the implementation of standards related to movement control requires building and analysing indicators using various data sources.
What movement control indicators did we use to monitor the implementation of these standards?
Several indicators made it possible to monitor the implementation of movement control standards, among them:
Percentage of Members declaring that they conduct ‘movement control inside the territory’ and/or ‘precautions at borders’ as control measures
Performance of Veterinary Services regarding movement control, as assessed by the PVS Tool:
– Percentage of Members that have been assessed with a Level of Advancement of 3 or more for each of the two PVS Critical Competencies directly relevant to movement control (II-4 Quarantine and border security and II-12.A Animal identification and movement control)
– Percentage of Members that have been assessed with a Level of Advancement of 3 or more for both PVS Critical Competencies directly relevant to movement control (II-4 and II-12.A)
The performance of the Veterinary Services regarding movement control, from Members that reported implementing these measures in WAHIS
What data sources did we use to build movement control indicators?
Two main data sources made it possible to build the monitoring indicators:
Control measures related to movement control: data extracted from WAHIS six-monthly reports submitted by Members (2005-2021)
Performance of Veterinary Services on movement control: PVS dataset, as compiled and provided by the WOAH Capacity Building Department (2016-2021)
