Synopsis (short abstract) From October 2012 to September 2013, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) continued to operate the Crisis Management Centre – Animal Health (CMC-AH) in close collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). From its inception in 2006, the CMC-AH assists FAO member countries in establishing effective responses to transboundary animal disease (TAD) emergencies, and emerging threats. Technical and opera tional assistance is offered to affected governments addressing outbreaks of animal diseases and high risk situations. The CMC-AH continues to support member countries by: deploying missions of experts to assess disease threats and outbreaks, organizing and leading Good Emergency Management Practice (GEMP) trainings, collaborating with FAO’s Emergency Prevention System for Animal Health (EMPRES-AH) in relation to the emergence of Influenza A (H7N9) and MERS-CoV and more.

    The Crisis Management Centre – Animal Health (CMC-AH) is a primary facility of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) for animal disease emergency response. A combined effort of FAO’s Animal Health Service and FAO’s Emergency and Rehabilitation Division within the Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Disease (ECTAD), the CMC-AH unites FAO’s extensive technical and operational expertise with that of OIE, the World Heal th Organization (WHO) and other international, national and local partners. With the support of its generous donors, the CMC-AH provides technical and operational assistance to help affected governments assess situations on the ground and develop immediate solutions to help prevent or stop disease spread. CMC-AH efforts also represent the first step toward broader assistance. Working to facilitate the transition from immediate, emergency assistance to longer-term support both in the field and at FAO headquarters, the CMC-AH initiates resource mobilization and project proposal formulation efforts for affected countries and regions.
