Descripción
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.
