No results found.The Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) was an eight-year programme funded by the United States Agency for International Development. It aimed to strengthen animal and human health systems in twenty countries in Africa and Asia. The goal of this evaluation was to identify lessons learned and good practices to inform future One Health efforts. The evaluation found that the GHSA programme enhanced animal health capacity by establishing expert teams at both national and regional levels, strengthening laboratory and surveillance systems and facilitating One Health collaborations. These activities build on previous efforts and remain highlight relevant, as evidenced during the COVID-19 pandemic. -

No results found.FAO ECTAD works to build the capacities of its Members to prevent, detect and respond to high-impact animal diseases and other health threats, which can severely harm livelihoods, food security and economies. A total of 93 different projects at the national, regional and global levels were implemented by FAO ECTAD throughout the year, addressing critical issues such as antimicrobial resistance, disease outbreaks and capacity-building activities designed to enhance countries’ disease surveillance, reporting and response systems. In 2023, FAO ECTAD supported national responses to nearly 250 animal disease outbreaks in 18 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America. In addition, FAO ECTAD developed and reviewed 20 national strategies, as well as policies, laws and legal frameworks, in six different countries, strengthening legal support for strong and resilient national public health systems. FAO ECTAD also conducted nearly 330 trainings in 29 different countries, boosting capacities in the application of Global Health Security and One Health approaches. Moreover, FAO ECTAD supported nine countries to improve and scale their animal health risk mitigation interventions through improved hygiene, biosafety and biosecurity practices. Finally, FAO supported 120 veterinary laboratories around the world. From training veterinarians, livestock farmers and animal traders on early disease detection to strengthening institutional leadership and capacities to sustainably manage veterinary workforces, FAO ECTAD and its partners played a vital role in safeguarding livelihoods and protecting both human and animal health in 2023.
