Biography
Dr Monique Eloit was elected Director General of the World Organisation for Animal Health and began her five-year term of office on 1 January 2016, as the 7th Director General of the OIE.
Prior to that she has served as Deputy Director General of the OIE for six years and was in charge of administration, management, human resources and regional actions. She oversaw the reform of the OIE’s accounting and financial procedures and made a significant contribution to the preparation of the OIE’s Sixth Strategic Plan for the period 2016-2020.
From the very first years of her work, Dr Eloit had to deal with sensitive issues such as the transport and slaughter of livestock, at both the national level and at European Community level, and participated in the first European negotiations on these topics. In 1992, she was placed in charge of the launch of the programme for the oral vaccination of foxes against rabies, which in several years enabled the disease to be eradicated in France.
