The Food and Agriculture Organization established a Crisis Management Centre at its Rome headquarters to respond to avian influenza outbreaks and other major animal health or food health emergencies.
“The CMC represents a (substantial) leap forward in FAO’s ability to help member nations prevent and cope with disease outbreaks,” said Dr. Jacques Diouf, FAO director-general, in a statement. The center is set up in collaboration with the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).
