Organizational Setting

Established in 2004, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) plans and delivers animal health assistance to more than 49 countries responding to the threat of high-impact diseases. By helping to avoid national, regional and global disease spread, the work of ECTAD contributes to the protection of people and animals from disease and other health threats. This roster will service ECTAD teams globally serving global, regional, or country level teams.

Reporting lines at the regional level will be directed to the ECTAD regional managers, while at the country level, they will report to the ECTAD country team leaders.
