agriculture production and natural

resources management

Outcome 1: Diseases emergency prevention and control

Output 1 – Early Warning Output 2 – Early Detection Output 3 – Early Response

Outcome 2: Diseases emergence prevented and controlled

Output 1 – Diseases impact analysis Output 2 – Understanding drivers Output 3 – Concerted actions to prevent and control diseases emergence
