No results found.Poultry production, and its associated activities, account for around one percent of Indonesia’s gross domestic product and provide the majority of animal protein consumed by 232 million Indonesians. A complex array of poultry enterprises, ranging from intensive commercial enterprises, to small-scale semi-intensive broiler and layer enterprises, to small backyard flcks supply poultry meat and eggs to Indonesian consum-ers, predominantly through traditional markets country-wide. Some 60% of all I ndonesian households keep poultry for food, additional income, entertainment and ceremonial purposes. Since Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) was detected in Indonesia in 2003, the disease has infected poultry in 32 out of 33 provinces, caused the deaths of millions of poultry, and disrupted the livelihoods of large numbers of people dependent on poultry keeping. Outbreaks continue to be reported regularly on islands with dense human and poultry populations, such as Java and Sumatra, an d more sporadically in Sulawesi and Bali. HPAI continues to present a major challenge to poultry pro-duction. An annualized poultry population of approximately 1.5 billion, a large culturally and ethnically diverse human population of around 232 million, a preference for purchasing poultry products from live bird markets, and a decentralized governance system, have all contributed to the persistence of the disease. The FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) Indonesia works to enhance the capacity and ability of the Government of Indonesia to implement its Avian Influenza Control Programme to sustainably control HPAI at village level, in the commercial poultry industry and along the market chain in order to help safeguard the health and livelihoods of the Indonesian population and reduce the global pandemic threat. Rabies is endemic in several parts of Indonesia. Bali had been rabies free until rabies was fist confimed in humans on 23 November 2008 and in a dog on 28 November 2008. From No-vember 2008 to the present, 139 human cases of rabies and 643 rabies cases in dogs have been reported. As Bali had been rabies free, there was a general low level of awareness and knowledge on management and control of the disease. Ths posed a substantial threat to the people living in Bali and the tourists that flck to the island every year, as well as a challenge to the local government animal and public health services. In February 2011 ECTAD In-donesia w as requested by the Director General of Livestock and Animal Health Services to assist in developing a revised strategy for rabies control and to provide strategic support to the rabies control programme in Bali. FAO developed a Programme of three rabies projects with the DGLAHS, funded through the FAO Indonesia country programme, AusAID and USAID. Ths 2011 Annual Report provides an overview of the activities carried out under the ECTAD Programme in collaboration with and in support of the Mini stry of Agriculture and local govern-ment livestock services in Indonesia to control both HPAI and rabies. Achievements in HPAI control across the key theme areas of improving poultry health, public private partnerships, capacity building and strengthening veterinary services are presented. Ac-tivities related to the rabies programme are presented under the capacity building and strengthening veterinary services themes. The activities and achievements described in this report were funded by man y donors and their contribution and commitment are gratefully acknowledged.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
