New $250 million USAID grant will boost FAO’s efforts to strengthen global health security and agrifood systems

FAO and USAID are scaling up efforts to strengthen global animal health security with the aim of protecting human lives and livelihoods while improving agrifood systems and safeguarding the environment. The new funding will assist to implement the Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action (OH-JPA), by enabling countries to sustain, with FAO support, the critical animal health and One Health capabilities developed in over 30 countries in Africa, South Asia and the Pacific, North Africa and the Near East.
