The biennium was marked by very substantial efforts undertaken by the Organization in support of countries and regions affected by the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). These efforts, led by FAO's Chief Veterinary Officer and head of the newly created Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD), involved the assumption of a global leadership role in close collaboration with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) in the international fight against the disease, based on sound technical and socio-economic analysis.

Extrabudgetary resouces
The programme acquired significant extrabudgetary funds in support of its key objectives, e.g. for pro-poor livestock policy development and livestock-environment interactions analysis and policy advice. In the global efforts for the control of HPAI, substantial extrabudgetary resource requirements were identified for FAO's programme (US$ 130 million by end 2005), part of which was made available to the Organization during the biennium. These resources supported activities at national, regional and global levels on emergency, medium- and longer-term requirements of surveillance/epidemiology/ecology, crisis preparedness, early warning, diagnostics, disease control, sector adjustment and associated needs for policy and strategy design.

FAO's Response to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1
Since 2004, FAO has worked with countries affected by avian influenza and those at risk in Asia (followed by Africa, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Caucasus, Latin America and the Caribbean) to facilitat information sharing, networking and local capacity-building, using emergency funding through TCPs and increasingly from extrabudgetary contributions. The primary objective of these projects was to strengthen disease intelligence and emergency preparedness, examine the role of migratory birds, support awareness creation and risk communication, strengthen field surveillance and laboratory support, and global avian influenza surveillance and early warning capabilities. In this context, FAO fielded respectively, in 2004 and 2005, 106 and 166 missions, in partnership with the OIE, WHO, WB and EC.
FAO has supported countries in designing and implementing emergency and long-term national control strategies, reviewing human capacity, infrastructure and policies for avian influenza surveillance, detection and control, assessing the socio-economic consequences of the crises and the costs and consequences of control measures including rehabilitation and long-term restructuring of the poultry sector.
FAO and OIE have jointly published a Global Plan for the progressive control of HPAI. Both organizations have established a network of avian flu expertise (OFFLU: OIE-FAO-FLU) designed to coordinate research, provide confirmatory diagnosis, support countries through expert missions and interface with WHO in the analysis of virus strains.
The avian influenza early warning activities at the global level are the joint concern of FAO, OIE and WHO, working together in a Global Early Warning System (GLEWS) for transboundary animal diseases and emerging zoonoses.
In the UN-wide avian and pandemic influenza coordination framework, FAO plays a lead role as the specialised organization in charge of assisting Members in controlling the disease at source in the animal.
