    TRANSBOUNDARY AQUATIC ANIMAL DISEASES (TAADS)are a primary constraint to sustainable aquaculture production, and have a significant socio-economic and environmental impact in several aquaculture countries and regions of the world. The impact of TAADs are particularly hard-felt by small-scale farmers, who represent the backbone of many rural communities in developing as well as developed countries.

    Given the similarity of the climatic and socio-economic conditions among its countries, the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) is highly susceptible to the emergence and spread of transboundary animal diseases (TADs). The movement of animals linked to cross-border trade has long been considered a major factor in disease transmission. It is therefore imperative to adopt safer trade practices in order to mitigate the risks posed by TADs and safeguard livelihoods in the region. For a number of years, FAO has provided support for dialogue among the countries concerned to minimize the risks of TADs. Annual multilateral coordination meetings have been organized since 2014 to explore areas of collaboration and to implement joint projects and activities. These meetings resulted in the formulation of the present project, which was the first South-South Cooperation (SSC) project to focus on controlling diseases in livestock at the regional level.
