ABSTRACT

This report will be the last that focuses primarily on the HPAI global programme. Since early 2011, FAO has taken a broad, multisectoral, collaborative One Health approach and is currently implementing the strategic Action Plan (AP) 2011–2015 entitled, Sustainable animal health and contained animal-related human health risks – in support of the emerging One-Health agenda. The AP extends HPAI lessons learned to other animal diseases that threaten animal and human health, rural populations and livelihoods. The AP’s goal is to establish a robust global animal health system that effectively manages major animal health risks, paying particular attention to the animal-human-ecosystem interface, and placing disease dynamics into the broader context of agriculture and socio-economic development and environmental sustainability.
