Synopsis (short abstract) An account of the meeting of the 15 member nations of the Commission in Manila, Philippines from 24 to 26 September 2001, the publication also includes a report of the preceding session in Dhaka, Bangladesh in November 2000. Asian farming households make up nearly one-third of the world's population and most of them are small farmers who combine cropping with livestock raising to spread their risks. The region is home to more than 1300 livestock species, accounting for about 30 percent of the wo rld's known breeds. APHCA was set up as an inter-governmental organization to promote livestock development in the region in ways that will increase food security and living standards of small farmers and rural communities. The document includes an account of APHCA's work during November 2000 to September 2001, details of proposed long-term activities and examples of recent epidemics of transboundary animal diseases, including a detailed report of outbreaks of animal diseases that also infected humans in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore between 1994 and 1999. There is also a section on progress in preparing the first report on The State of the World's Animal Genetic Resources.
