The tool for
operational control and information exchange with both the World Organization
for Animal Health and the
World Health Organization had been developed to support
local authorities in their efforts to establish and strengthen a coordinated
multisectoral system for monitoring and exchanging data on zoonoses, according
to a FAO press release.
FAO Representative
in Jordan Nabil Assaf said that animal health is entirely linked to food
security and nutrition and the achievement of many sustainable development
goals, especially those related to improving production, eradicating poverty
and hunger, ensuring a healthy life for all, and managing risks at the level of
interaction between animals, humans, and plants.
For his part, FAO
Assistant Secretary-General for Livestock Ali Abu Nukta said that the
Agriculture Ministry is preparing a database on the application of the
monitoring and data sharing tool within a coordinated system by various health
authorities for the purpose of exchanging information on common diseases and
making improvements in frameworks, strategies and policies to combat them, and
promptly identifying common diseases inside Jordan, as well as supporting
coordinated prevention, response and control efforts.
The three-day
workshop was held under the patronage of Agriculture Minister Khaled Hneifat
with the participation of stakeholders and government partners.
