ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Animal Health and Food Safety in West Bank and Gaza Strip - GCP/GAZ/012/SPA 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The West Bank and Gaza Strip is under constant threat from transboundary animal diseases (TADs) and zoonoses(diseases transmitted to humans through direct or indirect contact with animals), which also threaten food security and food safety for consumers. These problems are compounded by the low capacity of the veterinary services to conduct an epidemiological risk analysis, disease surveillance and early detection; or to develop appropriate prevention and control strategies and interventions. Against this background, the project supported the improvement of detection and response to animal health threats, including zoonotic and food-borne diseases. This project directly contributed to the animal health component of a larger Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) programme implemented by FAO and funded by three other donors, namely the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the Government of the Netherlands, and the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS). -
