African swine fever (ASF) virus continues to spread across the globe with a huge socio-economic impact. Coordinated efforts among all relevant stakeholders are needed to achieve control of this deadly disease. Public and private partnerships (PPPs) can provide optimal use of the unique strengths of both sectors when they are well planned and implemented.

 In the context of the ASF Global Control Initiative and as a follow-up of the FAO/OIE call for action held in October 2020, the FAO and OIE organized the virtual event on PPP. ‘Stop ASF: Public and Private partnering for success’ took place on 14, 21, and 28 June 2021 to highlight the importance and role of PPP and promote the engagement and collaboration of the public and private sectors in the ASF Global Control Initiative. The first event on PPP for ASF control was organized in cooperation with the International Meat Secretariat and in line with the new FAO Strategy for Private Sector Engagement.
