Synopsis (short abstract) At the 33rd Asia Pacific Regional Conference in Malaysia in 2016, countries of the region prioritized One Health as an important multi-disciplinary approach to resolve complex issues in food and agriculture. The mandate for FAORAP was to develop a regional initiative (RI) that will build on earlier experiences in the region which have mostly focused largely on zoonotic diseases such as avian flu and the growing threat of anti-microbial resistance (AMR). The RI aims to expand the scope of the app roach, address interconnected issues in a holistic way and engage stakeholders of different disciplines in the problem solving process. To this end, a regional technical workshop is being organized in Bangkok at the Hotel Millennium Hilton with representatives from all country offices in the Asian region and of the sub-regional office in Samoa. They will be joined by resources persons and technical staff from RAP and FAO headquarters to brainstorm, strategize and recommend to follow up actions t hat can be immediately implemented some countries of the region.

As part of the USAID Emerging Pandemic Threats 2 (EPT2) programme, FAO works closely with the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry to build greater capacity to address emerging infectious diseases and zoonoses. The global health threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), was given greater attention within the ECTAD programme this year and both AMR and communicating One Health to the public will receive even more support in the final year of the EPT2 programme. To accomplish its objectives, the FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) works closely with Government of Indonesia line ministries, local government Livestock and Animal Health Services, WHO, USAID, the Australia AIP-EID project, private sector partners and civil society organisations.
