  | Pages: 68; Description: The report is a consultation between United Nations and other partners to develop a strategic framework for reducing risks of infectious diseases at the animal–human–ecosystems interface. Abstract: The overall objective of the Strategic Framework represents an international public good. Its achievement will involve the strengthening of existing animal and public health surveillance, response, prevention and preparedness systems at the country, regional and international levels. |

 | Pages: 45; Description: The primary objective of the study was to examine advantages and disadvantages of different coordination arrangements, and to establish a series of principles that if adopted would lead to better synergy and more effective implementation of assistance. Abstract: The study conclusions reinforce best practice on coordination that has been promulgated by Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, UNDG, and similar bodies. They also conclude that sustained attention is needed to ensure that best practice is pursued, and they have proposed that nine principles, which reflect this best practice, be put into practice at country level. |

 | Pages: 91; Description: The report seeks to provide guidelines on good practice for payment of compensation as part of HPAI stamping-out strategies. Abstract: An effective and efficient compensation scheme will compensate appropriate beneficiaries for appropriate losses at an appropriate level, with only a short interval between culling and payment of the compensation. This will only be possible if a number of elements are already in place before an outbreak. This guideline provides mechanisms to strengthen a compensation system. |

 | Pages: 27; Description: This guideline describes the strategies and methods for influenza surveillance in swine populations in light of the 2009 A/(H1N1) pandemic. Abstract: This guideline describes the strategies and methods for influenza surveillance in swine populations in light of the 2009 A/(H1N1) pandemic. The adaptation of disease surveillance schemes to different pig production systems, especially disease surveillance targeting backyard or small pig producers, in particular in developing countries, is encouraged. Surveillance at this level should include the active participation of local communities and farmers to actively report respiratory cases in pigs. |

 | Pages: 44; Description: This report describes the regional strategy for avian influenza and other emerging infectious diseases of animals for the Asia and Pacific regions. The Strategy provides a vision for a common approach to address the ongoing problem of HPAI and EIDs, and serves to harmonize activities of various partners and donor agencies within the region. Abstract: This strategy is a revision of the Strategic Framework for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Prevention and Control in Southeast Asia developed in May 2006. The Strategy has been revised in recognition of the changing situation of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in the region and advances in knowledge about approaches to its control. It also reflects the international recognition of the regular emergence of new infectious diseases that threaten food security, food safety and human health and the need for interventions that address surveillance and preparedness capabilities for emerging infectious diseases in a broader context. |

 | Pages: 18; Description: This paper reviews the (predominantly grey) literature on impacts of highly pathogenic avian influenza strain H5N1 and control responses on the livestock sector and associated industries in developing countries. Abstract: This review considers how the impacts propagate up- and downstream through related supply and distribution networks, how short-term reactions are followed by longer-term adjustments, how impacts include direct cost elements and foregone income, and why losses to the poultry sector will, at least to some extent, be ‘passed on’ on the one hand, for example through compensation, and, on the other hand, be compensated for by gains in other livestock subsectors. |

 | Pages: 56; Description: This report describes biosecurity for backyard holdings of poultry to reduce risk of disease transmission and economic losses. Abstract: The objective of this literature review is to describe biosecurity and to cover options of improving biosecurity in sectors 3 and 4 while considering the possibilities of restructuring keeping in mind the special conditions of small poultry productions. Furthermore, the feasibility and cost of implementation and the potential impact on future contribution of small poultry production to food security is discussed. The target group is decision makers, professional poultry personnel and scientists. |

 | Pages: 20; Description: This guideline assists countries in achieving sustainable and functional collaboration between animal and human health sectors, which is crucial to addressing the challenges posed by endemic, emerging and re-emerging zoonoses. Abstract: This guideline assists countries in achieving sustainable and functional collaboration between animal and human health sectors, which is crucial to addressing the challenges posed by endemic, emerging and re-emerging zoonoses. It outlines step-by-step actions to develop appropriate collaborations in the four key areas identified in the Asia Pacific Strategy for Emerging Diseases (APSED) zoonoses work plan. These are surveillance and information sharing, coordinated response, risk reduction and collaborative research. |
