The Australian Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Mark Schipp, is pleased that Australia's investment under this partnership is paying off.With support from the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF), the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has recently achieved notable successes in managing emergency animal diseases in several developing countries and regions.
