Technical bookThe Global Strategy for Prevention and Control of H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza 2007
Also available in:
No results found.Although there remain serious gaps in knowledge, there has been an increased understanding of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) since the panzootic started in late 2003, and experience with various control approaches has allowed refinement of strategies at the global, regional and national levels. The revised global strategy presented here is based on the experience and lessons learned from the involvement of FAO and OIE in the global control of H5N1 HPAI over the last three years. The re vised strategy provides long-term vision and goals, identifies priorities and strategy approaches, and proposes short-, medium- and long-term actions at national, regional and global levels to control and ultimately eradicate the disease. The strategy has been developed in collaboration with WHO and a number of experts from OIE/FAO reference laboratories. -
Technical studyThe Global Strategy for Prevention and Control of H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza - October 2008 2008
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO-OIE Global Strategy for the Progressive Control of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) was first developed by FAO and OIE in collaboration with WHO in response to a recommendation from the FAO/OIE Regional Meeting on Avian Influenza Control in Asia (23-25 February 2005, Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam). The strategy prepared in November 2005 focused predominantly on control of the disease in East and Southeast Asia. Since then, the H5N1 HPAI situation has evolved dramatically.The disease has spread widely in Asia, Europe, the Near East and Africa, culminating in the current situation in which infection remains endemic in a number of countries in Asia and Africa and has infected birds (poultry and/or wild birds) in over 60 countries. The widespread nature of the disease, its mounting socio-economic impact, the increasing number of human infections and deaths and the potential threat of a human influenza pandemic continue to underline the need for a global approach to H5N 1 HPAI prevention and control. The revised Global Strategy presented here takes into account the global situation and progress in HPAI control and the accumulated experience and lessons learned from national, regional and global efforts to control the disease. -
Technical bookGlobal strategy for the prevention and control of high pathogenicity avian influenza (2024–2033)
Achieving sustainable, resilient poultry production systems
2025Also available in:
No results found.In response to the escalating threat of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) have launched a revised global strategy for the prevention and control of HPAI (2024–2033) under the Global Framework for the Progressive Control of Transboundary Animal Diseases (GF-TADs). This updated strategy builds upon lessons from the 2008 framework and responds to new epidemiological challenges, including the widespread emergence and persistence of H5Nx viruses.Adopting a One Health approach, the strategy recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental health. It aims to reduce the impact of HPAI on poultry while enhancing the resilience and sustainability of agrifood systems. By strengthening disease surveillance, improving biosecurity, and promoting science-driven interventions—including responsible vaccination and poultry sector transformation—the strategy seeks to prevent outbreaks, protect livelihoods, and minimize risks to public health.Multistakeholder collaboration is central to its implementation, with a strong emphasis on public–private partnerships to ensure effective implementation. Through continuous monitoring, evaluation, and adaptation, the strategy provides a flexible yet structured framework that enables countries to tailor prevention and control measures to their specific contexts.
