Regional & Global Collaboration

Cross-border collaboration between countries is an essential part of managing risks associated with avian influenza and emerging infectious diseases.  Disease outbreaks do not respect country boundaries, and all countries must consider their responsibilities in a regional and global context.  The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), and the UN system agencies, particular the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), play a critical role in ensuring regional and global efforts against emergency animal disease are collaborative, well-coordinated and contributing to the global good.

 

Materials contained within this Toolkit element include:

  • global and regional strategies for avian influenza
  • examples of collaborative agreements for animal disease control
  • the ASEAN Regional Strategy for the Progressive Control and Eradication of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza.

    This draft document is a framework for sustaining the momentum to control H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza, to strengthen capacities to respond to influenza pandemics, and to ensure that detection and response systems can deal with the full range of disease threats that can emerge at the animal-human-ecosystem interface. The document is presented in ‘Draft’ so that relevant results from the April 2010 International Ministerial Conference on Animal and Pandemic Influenza can be incorporated before it is finalised.
