The FAO/ OI E Global PPR Control and Eradication Strategy Joseph - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

The FAO/ OI E Global PPR Control and Eradication Strategy Joseph Dom enech and Eran Raizm an On behalf of the FAO OIE GF-TADs Working Group

I m portance of the disease 5 th Global GF TADs Steering  Committee (Paris, Oct 2012) OIE 82 nd General Assembly  (Paris, May 2014) , Resolution No.24 FAO 24 th COAG and FAO  150 th Council (Rome, 2014) Support to the development of a Global Control and Eradication Strategy using the GF-TADs mechanism 3

Rationale  Role of animal productions on food security, poverty reduction, sustainable development  Impact of animal diseases  Improving animal health is a global public good  Veterinary Services are at the heart of animal health systems tasked with preventing and controlling animal diseases 4

Consultation process for the elaboration of the PPR Global Strategy Similar to the preparation of the FMD Global Strategy  With experts, national and regional authorities, policy-makers, development partners and private industry: Workshop in Rome, October 2014  Peer review of the strategy  Inputs from the OIE Scientific Commission and its Ad Hoc Group on PPR 5

OI E/ FAO PPR Global Control and Eradication Strategy PPR is a good candidate disease for eradication  One serotype  No carrier state after infection  No reservoir outside domestic small ruminants  Vaccine with long live immunity after a single dose, cheap to produce  thermo-stable vaccine to come  Diagnostic tests available  Many of the tools required for progressive control and monitoring already available 6

Overall and specific objectives of the PPR Global Strategy  The overall objective is a small ruminant sector contributing to global food security and nutrition , hum an health and econom ic grow th , particularly in developing countries, thereby alleviating poverty , increasing incom e generation and improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and general human wellbeing.  The purpose is to establish the capacity of stakeholders and VS to control and eradicate PPR and control other small ruminant diseases. 7

Overall and specific objectives of the PPR Global Strategy The specific objectives of the Global Strategy are:  The eradication of PPR by 2 0 3 0 , which requires:  In infected countries, achieving a progressive reduction of the incidence and spread, leading to final eradication of PPR  In non-infected countries, maintaining the officially recognised PPR free status While at the same time: Photos: credit G Von Klooster  Reinforcing Veterinary Services  Improving animal health globally by reducing the im pact of other m ajor infectious diseases 8

RP Eradication Country and regional experiences To consider lessons learnt from  Rinderpest eradication (2011)  On-going PPR control programmes  Pan African Program for Progressive Control of PPR in Africa (AU-IBAR)  The SHARE programme in IGAD Region  The FAO Position paper on PPR Control  Vaccine Standards and Pilot Approach to PPR Control (OIE) in Africa  Etc… 9

PPR Strategy - Main principles  National , regional and global levels  Combination of vertical (disease specific) and transversal / horizontal (VS strengthening) approaches  Component 1 – PPR  Component 2 – Veterinary Services  Component 3 – Com bined disease control (mainly small ruminant Photo credit: CIRAD diseases) 10

PPR Strategy - Main principles  Risk-based approaches  The PPR Control component of the strategy not only aims to reduce the burden of PPR on animal production in developing countries, but also in PPR- free countries  Reducing PPR at source in PPR-endemic countries is therefore a shared interest and should be considered a Global Public Good  Public Good versus private Good Photo credit: CIRAD 11

The Progressive Step-w ise Approach for the prevention and control of PPR From To Stage 4 – where there is no Stage 1 – where the virus circulation either at zonal epidemiological or national level (country ready situation is being to apply for the OIE official assessed status of PPR freedom)
