Rapid response missions (October 2006 to October 2008)

The Crisis Management Centre – Animal Health (CMC-AH) is a facility of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) for animal disease emergency response. Combining FAO’s expertise with that of OIE, the World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners, the CMC-AH provides technical and operational assistance to help affected governments assess epidemiological situations on the ground, diagnose transboundary animal disease (TAD) outbreaks and set-up immediate measures to help prevent or stop disease spread.

 

Joint FAO WHO Rift Valley Fever outbreaks forecasting models brainstorming workshop

RVF outbreaks in East Africa are closely associated with periods of heavy rainfall that occur during the warm phase of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. These findings have enabled the successful development of forecasting models and early warning systems for RVF using satellite images and weather/climate forecasting data, enabling authorities to implement measures to avert impending epidemics.
