No results found.The FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) at the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP) supports member nations in better preparing for, detecting, responding to, and recovering from African swine fever (ASF) by enhancing the capacities of animal health sectors. As the importance of ASF prevention in smallholder settings has increased, FAO has launched the Communication African swine fever Biosecurity Interventions (CABI) project across five countries in the Asia-Pacific region.CABI is designed to strengthen good biosecurity practices among smallholder farmers. Through collaboration with local service providers, FAO delivers training sessions on biosecurity measures, supports building sustainable facilities tailored to the specific needs of smallholder farmers, and monitors their implementation to track the adoption and effectiveness of biosecurity measures. The CABI brochure serves as a concise and efficient information tool to raise awareness about the project's objectives and engage stakeholders in ASF prevention efforts. -
