Overview of the presentation Origin and the development of the Strategy Components of the Strategy Introduction HPAI Achievements and Lessons Learned EIDs and Existing IDs and their Impacts The Strategic Framework Specific Objectives and Outputs Cross Cutting Issues Institutional Issues Financing the Framework Conclusions and Way Forward
Introduction New Delhi recommendation, Dec 2007 Disease entrenched in several countries Continued risk of re-emergence and pandemic flu HPAI still a priority Also recognition HPAI is one of many other E/rEIDs Address the larger issue of EIDs at animal-human-ecosystem interface using OWOH approach
Genesis Planning meeting in Geneva (FAO, WHO, OIE, UNICEF with UNSIC and WB) between 3-4 June 2008 to discuss strategy development Based on the broad discussions in Geneva, outline for the Strategy agreed upon by mid June 2008 LATEST joint document (FAO-WHO-OIE-UNICEF-WB) finalized in mid October 2008 This is still a STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK with key concepts for WIDER CONSULTATION
Lessons learned… Economic development and disease Disease control and livelihoods Role of wildlife and transmission Understanding epidemiology Effective communication strategies Cross-sectoral collaboration Political commitment
EIDs: main characteristics Studies show over the last 50 years: One new disease every year >70% are zoonotic, % increasing Many are of transboundary in nature Wide and significant impacts (SARS/HPAI) Global significance, international public good
Economic Impact of EID SARS China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada $30-50bn $50bn $40bn $30bn Foot & Mouth UK $25–30bn Estimated Cost $20bn Classical Swine Fever, Netherlands $2.3bn BSE Japan $1.5bn Avian Flu Asia, $5–10bn $10bn BSE UK, $10-13bn Foot & Mouth Taiwan, $5-8bn HPAI, Italy $400m BSE Canada $1.5bn BSE U.S., $3.5bn Nipah, Malaysia $350-400m Avian Flu, NL $500m 2004 2006 2003 2005 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 1994 1995 Figures are estimates and are presented as relative size.

America • Poverty on the rise • Rapid economic development • Huge demand for livestock • Rapid evolution of farming systems Total Billions 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Source: US Bureau of the Census

Wildlife factor • Forest encroachment • Nipah, Hendra and Ebola • Bush meat • (HIV and chimpanzee) • Exotic animal farming • SARS • Trade in exotic animals • Monkey pox, psittacosis • 37.8 million counted animals imported in USA from 163 countries in 2000-2004
Climate change - diseases • Vector ecology and distribution (flies, ticks, mosquitoes) • Invading pathogen adaptation with new vectors • Migratory patterns
Spread of pathogens(globalized travel and trade) Increase in international air travel (5%/yr) Large shipments of livestock Animals can be any part of the world in time shorter than the IPs of many diseases
Pathogen risk factors All pathogens EIDs OIE list Human Domestic animals Domestic carnivores
Viruses • Both DNA and RNA viruses represented • RNA highly likely as EID • High mutation rate, no repair mechanisms • Small, Ubiquitous, Intrusive • Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, Hendra, Lassa, Hanta, Influenza, Polio, Hepatitis, FMD, West Nile, Rabies, Yellow fever, SARS Cleaveland, S., Laurenson, M.K. &Taylor, L.H (2001).

Goal • Diminish the threat and minimize the global impact of epidemics and pandemics due to highly infectious and pathogenic diseases of humans and animals Broader vision • Public health and food safety • Food security • Livelihoods of poor and vulnerable people
Focus Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases at the animal-human-ecosystems interface with epidemic and pandemic potential causing wide ranging impacts
OWOH Manhattan Principles Developed by WCS in 2004 in New York Increasingly being adopted to address pathogen jumps between animals and humans Holistic approach encompassing interfaces among the human, animal and ecosystem health domains Proposes an international, interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral approach to disease emergence and control
Major thrusts/objectives • Preventive action and root causes and drivers • Building more robust public and animal health systems (IHR 2005, OIE Standards) • Strengthening the national and international emergency response capabilities • Better addressing the concerns of the poor: • developed to developing economies • potential to actual disease problems • focusing on locally important diseases • Promoting cross sectoral and multi-disciplinary approach • Conducting strategic research
Priorities • Country Level • Long term, improve disease control capacity, including the public and animal health and food safety services based on good governance compliant with WHO IHR and OIE standards • Country and Regional Levels • Short to medium term establish risk-based disease surveillance in humans and animals to identify diseases at source (hotspots, human-animal interface) • International Level • Medium to long term strengthen capacity to improve ‘horizon scanning’ to support countries to respond early and control infectious disease events (GLEWS).

Institutional Issues • Guiding Principles • Country level initiation and implementing stronger intersectoral collaboration and political commitment • Country, regional and international levels coordinated action that brings together those working on human, animal and ecosystems health • International level engaging international institutions drawing on their unique mandates and complementary expert base • Permitting rapid engagement of a broader range of stakeholders, including regional organizations in order to respond effectively to a variety of disease threats
Financing Framework FUNDING FOR THE FOLLOWING KEY AREAS: • Responding to the ongoing avian influenza crisis • Strengthening public and animal health services • Improving surveillance: special attention for hotspots and strengthening wildlife surveillance • Providing funds for emergency response • Supporting communication and social mobilization • Conducting strategic research • Supporting international organizations for regional and global initiatives
Preliminary cost estimates • HPAI support • Annual funding needs over next 3 years: US$542–735 million • Estimated cost of funding the OWOH Strategic Framework to 2020 • Average per year: • Scenario 1: US$ 852 million (43 low income countries) • Scenario 2: US$1,343 million (139 eligible countries) • Total • Scenario 1: US$ 10,228 million • Scenario 2: US$ 16,116 million
Funding sources • Existing donors • Non-conventional donors and foundations • Emergency funds • Country level fund for emergencies and compensation • UN Central Emergency Response Fund • FAO Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation • OIE’s World Animal Health and Welfare Fund • The World Bank and the Regional IFIs • Industry and other private sector • Meat exporting countries
Conclusions HPAI and EIDs are a complex problem Multidisciplinary, multisectoral and multi-partnerships Global challenge, requiring global solutions Builds on HPAI successes and lessons learned FAO, OIE, WHO, UNICEF, UNSIC and WB support Stakeholders buy in and ownership important
