The Secretariat is funded by the European Commission through a Horizon Europe project known as SIRCAH2 (Support for the International Research Consortium on Animal Health). SIRCAH2 involves Kreavet, Defra (UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), CAB International (CABI), UKRI-BBSRC (Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council), and Kreavet.
