    Resolution No.33 adopted at the 87th General Session of the World Assembly of National Delegates of the OIE recommended that ‘A global initiative for the control of ASF be launched using the GF-TADs mechanism to develop, improve and harmonise national, regional and global partnership and coordination to address ASF at the source, enhance prevention and preparedness, minimise adverse impacts on animal health and welfare, international trade, and social wellbeing’. The FAO-OIE GF-TADs Initiative for the Global Control of ASF have been drafted by the OIE and FAO technical teams. It aims to tackle the strategic challenges to effectively address the mandate given to the OIE and FAO at the last OIE General Session by defining the objectives and providing the structure for specific outcomes to be achieved for the global control of the disease.
