  • Facilitate coordination and communication of progress on regional aquatic animal health programmes.
  • Advise in identification and designation of regional aquatic animal health resources, as Regional Resource Experts, Regional Resource Centres and Regional Reference Laboratories.
  • Identify issues of relevance to the region that require depth review and propose appropriate actions needed.
