(KPL) Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Application in Controlling Avian Influenza Outbreak Programme was officially launched here Monday.
The project is financed with grant assistance from the Japanese government through ASEAN Fund.
The ASEAN Fund has earmarked USD 1 million for the project implementation in the Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam to promote information exchange on avian flu between the three regional countries through information and communication technology (ICT) system.
Under the programme, an ICT system linking together between the Science and Technology Agency, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry will also be established in the near future to facilitate the co-operation of relevant officials.
SMS avian flu alert system will also be established to better the co-operation and efforts of relevant organisations and officials in tackling avian flu.
