The Stepwise Approach towards Rabies Elimination (SARE) is a practical planning, monitoring and evaluation tool to guide, develop and refine rabies control programs. It provides measurable steps, designed as a logical flow of activities, to progress from Stage 0 to Stage 5, in efforts towards freedom from dog-transmitted rabies.

According to the United Against Rabies (UAR) Rabies Roadmap, a SARE score of 2 out of 5 signifies the following: "Dog-mediated rabies is endemic. The country has built a strong case in support of rabies elimination and is in the process of initiating rabies elimination initiatives at the national-level."
