The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has released the Global Partnership Program for Transboundary Animal Diseases (GPP-TAD), which it described as “a country driven, country-led initiative, in which the prevention and control of prioritized diseases are strengthened through National Partnership Platforms that bring together governments, the private sector, producers, foundations, farmers’ organizations, and financial institutions under one national framework.” “We must ensure that the next chapter of global animal health is not defined by crisis, but by cooperation, responsibility and shared success,” FAO Director-General Qu Dongyu said at an event in Rome attended by ministers and high-level government representatives. He noted that transboundary animal diseases (TADs) remain one of the most urgent threats to global food security, livelihoods and health. Cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza, foot-and-mouth disease, African swine fever, and New World screwworm, among others, demonstrate that TADs “are spreading faster, further, and with greater impact on economies and livelihoods than ever before,” Qu added.
