Synopsis (short abstract) 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 Emergency Operations and Rehabilitation Division, the CMC-AH unites FAO’s extensive technical and operational expertise with that of OIE, the World Health Organization (WHO) and other international, national and loca l partners.With the support of its donors, the CMC-AH provides technical and operational assistance to help affected governments assess epidemiological situations on the ground, diagnose transboundary animal disease outbreaks and set-up immediate measures 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, the CMC-AH initiates resou rce mobilization and project proposal formulation efforts for affected countries and regions.

Les activités du CMC-AH constituent également une première étape avant de mettre en oeuvre des interventions de plus grande ampleur. Afin de faciliter la transition entre les interventions d'urgence immédiates et le soutien à  plus long terme, le CMC-AH commence à  mobiliser des ressources et formuler des propositions de projet pour les régions et pays affectés.
