CECAN Bovine TB Case Study – DEFRA

Defra are currently developing an evaluation framework to guide their evaluation of the overall Bovine TB Strategy.

CECAN have been operating as a ‘critical friend’ in this process, with CECAN team member Michelle Boath from Risk Solutions providing expert input (since December 2016) via her role on the evaluation steering group.

Michelle is also helping to facilitate links between Defra and the work CECAN members Professor Liz Varga and Anurag Tewari are engaged in at Cranfield to develop a method for the evaluation of the effectiveness of TB policy interventions.
