ANAW participates in policy making and legislation advocacy. A major feat was achieved when participants of ANAW’s first conference came up with the African Declaration for Animal Welfare (ADAW) established under existing Draft Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare (UDAW) on 22nd-23rd September, 2010. The Charter shall form the basis for Policy and Legislation on Animal Welfare by governments and all other sectors in Africa.
This year, decisions on the contentious issues that will be covered in the charter will be discussed during a fora which will be hosted on 6th September, 2010 to 9th September by ANAW. Members of different animal welfare organizations all over the world will also discuss different topics on animal welfare during the Africa Animal Welfare Action (AAWA) 2010 Conference.
