Synopsis (short abstract) This document provides an overview of the activities conducted through the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Global Stockpile for Emergency Animal Diseases – a project implemented by the FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases. Funded by the United States Agency for International Development, the project aims to facilitate a safe and rapid response to priority zoonotic disease outbreaks of public health importance around the globe. The rapid availability of diagnostic reagents, laboratory consumables and personal protective equipment supports surge capacities, thereby facilitating the effective implementation of outbreak investigation and initial response activities to contain priority zoonotic diseases. This early response mechanism supported by the project addresses critical surge gaps and gives governments the time to organize a full-scale response. By maintaining sufficient capacity, Member Nations can sustainably cover country-level surveillance.

    As part of the USAID Emerging Pandemic Threats 2 (EPT2) programme, FAO works closely with the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry to build greater capacity to address emerging infectious diseases and zoonoses. The global health threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), was given greater attention within the ECTAD programme this year and both AMR and communicating One Health to the public will receive even more support in the final year of the EPT2 programme. To accomplish its objectives, the FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) works closely with Government of Indonesia line ministries, local government Livestock and Animal Health Services, WHO, USAID, the Australia AIP-EID project, private sector partners and civil society organisations.

    Risk Communication by the State Veterinary Service plays an important role in disease risk mitigation and is an integral part of risk management during animal health emergencies and zoonotic outbreaks. Effective communication recognises its unique functions as complementary to, but unique among, the other non-communication functions required during an emergency or outbreak response, such as, logistics, epidemiology and finances. Communication is uniquely positioned to build knowledge, influence attitudes, raise awareness, build perceptual associations between recommendations and stakeholders’ or audiences’ values, customs, and beliefs. Furthermore, effective communication focusses on the outcome for the audience or stakeholder, rather than on the activities of the State Veterinary Service or its partners. This publication is based on a Risk Communication Strategy that the FAO Animal Health Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) in Myanmar developed for the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MoALI), Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department (LBVD) of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. The Warning Project, a not-for-profit company specialising in risk communication, led this strategy development in Myanmar. The Myanmar Risk Communication document is edited in this version to make it applicable to State Veterinary Services in other countries.
