    Animal diseases can devastate livelihoods, disrupt economies and threaten food security. But how do we determine how much to invest in their control, who should pay, and whether proposed policies will actually succeed? This practical handbook offers evidence-based answers to these pressing questions.Using foot-and-mouth disease as a case study, this comprehensive resource provides decision-makers – whether in government, the private sector, veterinary practices, research or livestock management – with the tools they need to make informed and effective choices. It explores economic principles that help prioritize disease control strategies and assess their impact, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively.The handbook delves into economic assessment techniques, offering step-by-step guidance on how to collect and analyse the data necessary for efficient and sustainable disease management. With a focus on transparency and accountability, this book empowers analysts, policymakers and researchers to make data-driven and economically sound decisions. By emphasizing evidence-based solutions, it provides a clear framework for addressing animal health challenges and optimizing control policies for the future.

    Planning risk communication on foot-and-mouth disease
    Guide

    These guidelines are intended to be used by veterinary risk managers who are responsible for risk communication planning. They may also be of use to communication experts who are responsible for animal health risk communication planning. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide risk managers and communicators with a methodology for developing effective Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) risk communication strategies. The concepts presented can also be adapted to risk communication on other animal health threats. The document is based on the Emotional, Participatory, Imperfect and Continuous (EPIC) approach to risk communication developed by Cortney Price and adapted to animal health risk management by the author in collaboration with FAO staff. These guidelines gives FMD-specific examples, which formed the outcome of two EuFMD Workshops on “Managing a Crisis” which took place in Budapest, Hungary from 13 to 16 September 2016 and Kaunas, Lithuania from 19 to 22 March 2018.
