3. EMPRES-AH FAO’s EMERGENCY PREVENTION SYSTEM for ANIMAL HEALTH

4. ANIMAL HEALTH THREATS Three of today’s major challenges to animal and public health:  Risk of Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs) outbreaks (e.g. Avian Influenza, FMD & PPR)  Antimicrobial resistance (AMR)  Food and feed safety

5. FAO’s RESPONSE: EMPRES-AH  Sustainable capacity building  Knowledge sharing  Tools & Strategies  Coordination & Networking

6. SUSTAINABLE CAPACITY BUILDING  Technical training  Increased surveillance  Laboratory diagnostics training  Strengthening laboratory capacity  Disease management  Developing tools for disease control and eradication  Advocacy for political will

7. KNOWLEDGE SHARING  Enabling research environment  Up-to-date disease intelligence and technology  Information sharing on applied research  Disseminating information:  PUBLICATIONS : EMPRES 360, EMPRES Watch, FOCUS ON EMPRES 360EMPRES WatchFOCUS ON  WEBSITE : EMPRES-AH EMPRES-AH

8. TOOLS & STRATEGIES  Online Information Systems  EMPRES-i EMPRES-i  Reporting Systems  EMA-i (Event Mobile Application)  Genetic Module  Risk Assessment  Lab Mapping Tool

9. COORDINATION & NETWORKING  Disease control activities at country and regional level  Grass roots multisectoral approach to health management  Networking (FMD, OFFLU)

10. Current collaboration with China  Avian influenza A(H7N9) surveillance and response  TCP on African Swine Fever (ASF) since July 2014  Link-TADs: China - EU Animal Health Research coordination  Enabling regional cooperation on Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) and small ruminants TADs surveillance

11. Current collaboration with China  OFFLU: network of expertise on animal influenza  FAO Reference Centre Harbin  Tripartite collaboration China/Mongolia/Russia on TADs

13. Action: What we do Offer technical and operational assistance to help affected governments assess epidemiological situations and diagnose outbreaks of animal diseases

14. Missions to date 71 missions 43 countries (approx. 35% HPAI, 21% Zoonoses and 44% other TADs) Turkey – HPAI Madagascar – RVF Togo – ASF

15. 71 missions, 43 countries

17. GEMP as a concept  Overall approach to management of disease emergencies  Composed of multiple and expanding list of specific tools: “GEMP: The essentials” manual Technical Response SOPs Others to follow 17

18. Prepare Prevent Detect Respond Recover 18 Emergency Disease Management GEMP Cycle
