Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureThe FAO-OIE-WHO Collaboration 2017
Also available in:
No results found.This document sets a strategic direction for FAO-OIE-WHO to take together and proposes a long term basis for international collaboration aimed at coordinating global activities to address health risks at the human-animal-ecosystems interfaces. FAO, OIE and WHO have been working together for years to address risks at the human-animal-ecosystems interface and their collaborative work was formally laid down in 2010 in the FAO/ OIE/WHO Tripartite Concept Note. This Note continues to be a reference f or the Tripartite on the shared responsibilities for addressing health risks through multi-sectoral collaboration. The Tripartite is advocating for effective, multi-sectoral collaboration at the local, national, regional and global levels and is providing guidance on complex issues. This “One Health” approach recognizes that the health of people is connected to the health of animals and the environment. -
MeetingMeeting documentAntimicrobial use in aquaculture and antimicrobial resistance. Report of a Joint FAO/OIE/WHO Expert Consultation on Antimicrobial Use in Aquaculture and Antimicrobial Resistance
Seoul, Republic of Korea, 13-16 June 2006
2006Also available in:
No results found.The public health hazards related to antimicrobial use in aquaculture include the development and spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and resistance genes, and the occurrence of antimicrobial residues in products of aquaculture. The greatest potential risk to public health associated with antimicrobial use in aquaculture is thought to be the development of a reservoir of transferable resistance genes in bacteria in aquatic environments from which such genes can be disseminated by horizont al gene transfer to other bacteria and ultimately reach human pathogens. However, a quantitative risk assessment on antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture is difficult to perform owing to lack of data and the many different and complex pathways of gene flow. -
DocumentOther documentFAO/OIE/WHO Regional Tripartite Coordination Meeting for One Health, 29 January 2018. Concept note
29/jan/18
2018Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal health (OIE) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have established a Tripartite secretariat to streamline activities under the One Health umbrella. Three One Health priority areas have been identified: zoonotic influenza, rabies and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Within the Asia/Pacific region the Tripartite links-up the FAO Reginal Office for Asia and the Pacific (FAO-RAP) in Bangkok, the OIE Regional office in Tokyo, the OIE subregional office for South East Asian countries in Bangkok, the WHO South-East Asia Regional Office (WHO-SEARO) in New Delhi and the WHO Western Pacific Office (WHO-WPRO) in Manila. Face to face and teleconference meetings have been taking place from time to time to coordinate activities. Recently through USAID funding the establishment of a more permanent Tripartite secretariat at FAO-RAP has been made possible with a special focus on addressing AMR in the Asia/Pacific region. In the side-line of the Prince Mahidol Award Conference to be held in Bangkok, Thailand from 29 January to 3 February 2018 a face to face Tripartite coordination meeting will take place on 29 January 2018.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFertilizer use by crop in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea 2003
Also available in:
No results found.In recent years, agricultural production in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has fallen sharply. There is little arable land and increased production must come from higher yields, which require an adequate supply of production inputs such as fertilizers. All inputs are in short supply and there is a lack of items such as spare parts for machinery and irrigation pumps. Compounded by a series of droughts, this situation has resulted in serious food shortages. Large-scale humanitarian inte rventions have been required. In order to increase agricultural production, a "double cropping programme" has been developed, with the support of FAO and aid agencies, in order to permit the harvesting of an extra crop. This report presents the results of the programme to date. -
