Introduction
Responding to a request from the Jaffna Mayor’s Office, the Jaffna project was launched in March 2014 with a sample dog count conducted by the Tsunami Animal-People Alliance (TAPA) and the Jaffna Public Health Depatment. The project covers the entirety of the Jaffna Municipal Limits (population 90,300), and focus on surgical sterilisation, anti-rabies vaccination, treatment and education.

Partners
The project is funded by the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, Embark, TAPA, Dogstar Foundation and the Jaffna Municipal Council. All veterinary services will be provided by Tsunami Animal-People Alliance (TAPA), and all activities are carried out in close collaboration with local authorities.
