Development Objective

The proposed project aims to minimize the threat in Turkey posed to humans by the highly pathogenic avian influenza infection and other zoonoses in domestic poultry and prepare for the control and response to an influenza pandemic and other infectious disease emergencies in humans. To achieve this, three areas will be supported: (i) prevention, (ii) preparedness and planning and (iii) response and containment. Achieving these goals will contribute to diminishing the burden of disease and loss of productivity in Turkey, limiting the regional spread of AI, and enhancing economic and social prospects at the national, regional, and global levels.
