This multisectoral program comprised 72 projects in 60 developing countries in all regions and received $1.3 billion in financing from the World Bank. This support for GPAI projects was one of the World Bank s contributions to a coordinated global response to the threats of avian and pandemic influenzas, which benefited from financing of $4 billion from 35 donors in 2006-2013. Thanks to this support, developing countries strengthened their capacity for early and effective disease control, bringing substantial public health and economic benefits to the countries and to the world. According to Harvard University Professor and former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, "[veterinary and human public health systems are] probably the single most important area for productive investment on behalf of mankind." Indeed, circulation of the highly pathogenic avian flu virus was reduced, helping to lessen the likelihood of onset of a pandemic. Moreover, the projects improved public health systems for reducing locally-relevant health threats. The report presents a brief background on the global program and cross-country accomplishments and then highlights accomplishments for each project, by region.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACTIVE SURVEILLANCEACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROMEAGRICULTURE ORGANIZATIONANIMAL DISEASEANIMAL DISEASE SURVEILLANCEANIMAL DISEASE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMANIMAL DISEASESANIMAL HEALTHANIMAL HEALTH SYSTEMSANIMAL HEALTH WORKERANIMAL HEALTH WORKERSANIMAL ORIGINANIMAL RESOURCESANTIVIRALANTIVIRAL DRUGSAVIAN FLU EMERGENCYAVIAN FLU INFECTIONSAVIAN FLU VIRUSAVIAN INFLUENZAAVIAN INFLUENZA CONTROLAVIAN INFLUENZA IN HUMANSAVIAN INFLUENZA IN POULTRYAVIAN INFLUENZA OUTBREAKAVIAN INFLUENZA OUTBREAKSAVIAN INFLUENZA PREVENTIONAVIAN INFLUENZA SURVEILLANCEAVIAN INFLUENZA VACCINESBACKYARD FARMSBACKYARD POULTRYBACKYARD POULTRY PRODUCERSBIO-SECURITYBIO-SECURITY MEASURESBIOSECURITYBIRDSBORDER CONTROLCHICKENSCOMMERCIAL FARMSCOMMERCIAL POULTRYCOMMUNICATION MATERIALSCOMMUNICATION STRATEGIESCOMMUNICATION STRATEGYCOMMUNITY ANIMAL HEALTHCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY SURVEILLANCECONFIRMED CASECONFIRMED CASESCONTAGIONCONTAINMENTCONTAINMENT PLANCONTAINMENT PLANSCONTROL MEASURESCULLEDDIAGNOSISDIAGNOSTIC CAPACITYDISASTER RISK MANAGEMENTDISEASE BURDENDISEASE CONTROLDISEASE CONTROL MEASURESDISEASE INFORMATIONDISEASE OUTBREAKSDISEASE RISKDISEASE SPREADDISEASE SURVEILLANCEDISEASE-CONTROLDISINFECTANTSDISTRICT VETERINARIANSEARLY DETECTIONEGGSEMERGENCY PREPAREDNESSEMERGENCY RESPONSEEMERGING DISEASESEMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASEEPIDEMICEPIDEMICSEPIDEMIOLOGYEPIDEMIOLOGY TRAINING PROGRAMEXERCISESFIGHTING AVIAN INFLUENZAFLU CONTROL EFFORTSFLU PANDEMICFOWLFREE-RANGE POULTRYH5N1H5N1 VIRUSHEALTH CAPACITIESHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHIV/AIDSHOSPITALHOSPITALSHOSTHPAIHUMAN CASESHUMAN FATALITYHUMAN FLUHUMAN INFLUENZAHUMAN PANDEMICINFECTION CONTROLINFECTIONS IN HUMANSINFECTIOUS DISEASE OUTBREAKSINFECTIOUS DISEASESINFLUENZAINFLUENZA AINFLUENZA DIAGNOSISINFLUENZA PANDEMICINFLUENZA PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESSINFLUENZA PLANINFLUENZA PREPAREDNESSINFLUENZA PROGRAMINFLUENZA RESPONSEINFLUENZA VACCINEINFLUENZA-LIKE ILLNESSINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSLABORATORIESLABORATORYLABORATORY CAPACITYLABORATORY EQUIPMENTLABORATORY STAFFLABSLIVE BIRDLIVE BIRD MARKETSLIVE BIRDSLIVESTOCKLIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENTM&EMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMIGRATION PATTERNSMONITORING AND EVALUATIONMOVEMENT OF POULTRYNATIONAL LABORATORYNURSESNUTRITIONOUTBREAKOUTBREAK COMMUNICATIONOUTBREAK INVESTIGATIONOUTBREAKS OF AVIAN INFLUENZAPANDEMIC FLUPANDEMIC INFLUENZAPANDEMIC PLANNINGPANDEMIC PREPAREDNESSPANDEMIC PREVENTIONPANDEMIC RESPONSEPANDEMIC RISKPANDEMICSPATHOGENPATHOGENIC AVIAN FLUPATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZAPATHOGENSPERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTPOSTERSPOULTRY CONTACTPOULTRY FARMERSPOULTRY FARMSPOULTRY INDUSTRYPOULTRY PRODUCTIONPOULTRY PRODUCTION SYSTEMSPOULTRY PRODUCTSPOULTRY SECTORPOULTRY VACCINATIONPRELIMINARY RESULTSPREPAREDNESS PLANPREPAREDNESS PLANSPREVENTIVE MEASURESPUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGNPUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGNSPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC HEALTH SURVEILLANCEQUARANTINERABIESREAGENTSRESPONSE CAPABILITYRESPONSE CAPACITYRESPONSE PLANRESPONSE PLANSRISK ASSESSMENTRISK ASSESSMENTSRISK COMMUNICATIONRISK COMMUNICATIONSSAFE POULTRYSENTINELSPECIMENSSURVEILLANCE CAPACITYSURVEILLANCE NETWORKSURVEILLANCE SYSTEMTRANSMISSIONUNCONTROLLED OUTBREAKSVACCINATIONVACCINATION CAMPAIGNSVACCINATION POLICYVALUE OF BIRDSVETERINARIANVETERINARIANSVETERINARY CONTROLSVETERINARY INFRASTRUCTUREVETERINARY LABORATORIESVETERINARY OFFICERSVETERINARY SERVICESVETERINARY STAFFVETERINARY WORKERVETERINARY WORKERSWILD BIRDSWORKERSZOONOTIC DISEASEZOONOTIC DISEASESZOONOTIC NATURE10.1596/21541
