Within the framework of the Tripartite Alliance, FAO, OIE and WHO recognise their respective responsibilities in fighting diseases, including zoonoses, that can have a serious health and economic impact. They have been working together for numerous years to prevent, detect, control and eliminate disease risks to humans originating directly or indirectly from animals. In 2010, the FAO/OIE/WHO Tripartite Concept Note (April 2010) officially recognised this close collaboration, with joint strategies at the human-animal-environment interface, to support their Member Countries. Three priority areas of work were defined : zoonotic influenzas, rabies and the fight against antimicrobial resistance.
The OIE recently made a strong contribution to the WHO’s Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance, adopted in 2015, which seeks to ensure, for as long as possible, the treatment of infectious diseases with effective, quality antimicrobial agents. By proposing key actions to be implemented in the next five to ten years, the Plan emphasises the importance of the OIE’s intergovernmental standards and supports the implementation by the OIE of a global database on the use of antimicrobial agents in animals.
