FAOs Early Warning Activities and GLEWS + Collaboration - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

FAO’s Early Warning Activities and GLEWS + Collaboration (FAO/OIE/WHO) in a One Health Context

Julio Pinto, FAO

FAO’s Animal Health Service

Prevent, contain and control the world’s most serious animal diseases at their source, while also surveying for newly emerging zoonotic pathogens in a changing environment Core activities : Early warning and early detection to enhance early action and response.

Protecting animals against diseases and preventing their transmission and spread is

• ne of the keys to fighting hunger,

malnutrition and poverty

increasing source

• f outbreak-related

information verification early and effective response

Early Warning and Forecasting

• Real-time alerts (RVF, ASF, HPAI, FMD)
• Rapid Risk Assessment Guidelines
• Animal Diseases Updates ( Animal

Health Threat Update, MERS-CoV, AI, ASF…)

• Quarterly Early Warning Updates for

Food Security (Food Chain Crisis Early Warning Bulletin, Early Warning Early Action Bulletin)

FAO Rapid Risk Assessments

Ea Early Warning systems

• Global Animal Disease Information System – EMPRES-i
• Global RVF monitoring/early warning system
• National electronic reporting app – EMA-i

EM EMA-i implementation in 11 countri ries in Afri rica

GL GLEWS +

• GLEWS was established in 2006 and has since evolved to GLEWS+ in

2013

• Initial funding from CIDA/Canada and France
• GLEWS platform hosted in FAO since 2009
• Focal points from three partners
• Disease tracking, verification and risk assessment, EW
• The Joint FAO–OIE–WHO Global Early Warning System for health

threats and emerging risks at the human–animal–ecosystems interface

FA FAO/WHO/OIE Global Early Warning System (GLEWS+)

GLEWS+ Task Force Meeting, WHO HQ, April 2019

FA/OIE/WHO Common Vision:

To improve global disease prevention, detection, early warning and response from biological threats (GHSA, G7 EIOS)

Strengthen and modernise currently WHO, OIE and FAO systems Bring Info systems together (data sharing analysis) Link with capacity development activities in countries

WHO/EIOS

Support the identification of alerts Deduplication of efforts Inclusion of animal diseases (also non-zoonotic) Rumours Formal sources Use EIOS as a means of communication

• Pillar 1: Sharing information to improve awarness of current and

emergig health events based on respective information and intelligence networks

• Pillar 2: Development and implementation of risk assessments for high

priority/profile zoonotic disease events

• Pillar 3: Conceptual design and business case for the new GLEWS+

ingotmation integration pokatform (linked with EIOS)

• Awareness, communication and advocacy material
• Intelligence, Early warning and support response mechanisms of

WHO and FAO

• GLEWS+ risk assessment and capacity development in countries and

regions

• GLEWS+ plaform development within EIOS
• Expansion to GLEWS+ Regional Networks (FAO, WHO and OIE)

Thank you
