The loan has a maturity of 11.5 years with a grace period of 4.5 years.
An infection or disease that is transmissible from animals to humans under natural conditions is called zoonotic.
Animal disease outbreaks globally continue to pose risks to public health systems and have enormous economic costs.
It will strengthen India’s One Health approach, which recognizes that people and animals are connected with their shared environment.
The $82 million loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) uses the Program-for-Results (PforR) financing instrument that links disbursement of funds directly to the achievement of specific program results.
