Provisional PCP Stage Assignment

PCP Assessment 2014

PCP Stage 1

Stage 1 OutcomesTo enter Stage 1: a comprehensive plan to study epidemiology and socio-economics

1 All husbandry systems, the marketing network and associated socio-economic drivers are well described

2 Describe the FMD distribution and develop working hypothesis of how FMD circulates3 Estimate socio-economic impact on different stakeholders4 Identification of circulating FMD strains5 Development of enabling environment and strengthening vet services6 Transparency and commitment to FMD control in region7 Identify important risk hotspots for FMD transmisssion8 Adopt a strategic FMD control plan, based on risks and socio economic impact

STAGE FOCUS: “To gain an understanding of the epidemiology of FMD in the country and develop a risk-based approach to reduce the impact of FMD ” Countries in PCP Stage 1 are conducting activities that give them insights into all aspects of FMD in the country (transmission and impact of FMD infection). With these insights, they can define areas and practices of high risk for FMD.

Required to progress to

stage 2

PCP Stage 2

Stage 2 Outcome1 Ongoing monitoring of circulating strains and risk in different husbandry systems2 Risk based of control measures implemented in at least one sector or zone3 FMD Impact is reduced by the control measures4 Enabling environment and Strengthening veterinary services5 Development of plan to eliminate FMD from country or zone

STAGE FOCUS: “To implement risk based control measures such that the impact of FMD is reduced in one or more livestock sectors and/or in one or more zones ”Countries in PCP Stage 2 are implementing a risk-based FMD control strategy, that has been designed to decrease the impact of FMD in at least one livestock sector or zone. The impact of the control strategy should be regularly assessed through measurable indicators.

• Required to progress to PCP Stage 3 • Control programme may be endorsed by OIE in Stage 3

• To progress from Stage 1 to Stage 2, a dossier must be

provided that describes the control strategy in which the outcomes of Stage 1 are clearly described and addressed (understanding of FMD epidemiology and risk)

• For countries that already have been in Stage 2, in order to remain in Stage 2 they must provide a dossier that describes the control strategy in which the outcomes of Stage 1 are clearly described and addressed (understanding of FMD epidemiology and risk)

PCP Assessment 2014

Advisory group meeting 2014:• Stage 1 countries to remain in Stage 1

– 2 countries

• Stage 1 completed ready to move to Stage 2, pending control strategy– 2 countries

• Stage 2 countries must submit risk-based FMD control strategy and/or additional information to remain in Stage 2– 3 countries

• For countries that did not submit questionnaire, remain in stage as last year. These are invited to submit information (questionnaire and control strategy)

PCP Assessment 2014

Egypt: Provisional Stage 2*pending review control plan

Key activities: • Value chain analysis – understanding livestock production systems• Collation of information to identify ‘risk hotspots’• Develop risk-based strategy plan

Plan to progress to Stage 2 in 2015

Recommendations:• Apply for renewed OIE-PVS evaluation

Egypt 2014

* pending review control plan through FMD-WG before 1 April 2014 and PVS evaluation when appropriate

Iraq: Provisional Stage 2*

Key activities: • Outbreak investigation and sampling for FMD virus, need for genotyping• Border control and related animal movements

Plan to remain in Stage 2 in 2014 and progress to Stage 3 in 2015?

Recommendations:• Apply for OIE-PVS evaluation - done• Strengthening monitoring and evaluation on implementation and impact

Iraq 2014

* pending submission control plan by 1 April 2014Lebanon: Provisional Stage 2*

No clinical FMD since 2010

No PCP-FMD Stage 1 quesionnaire was submitted

Key activities: • FMD control plan for 2015-2020• Post-vaccination monitoring• Border control and related animal movements

Plan to apply for Stage 2 in 2014

Recommendations:• Apply for renewed OIE-PVS evaluation• Documentation of yearly (active) surveillance

Lebanon 2014

Jordan: Provisional Stage 2*

No clinical FMD since 2006

* pending submission control plan and conducting active sero surveillance

Key activities: • Safeguarding imports from FMD-free (OIE-status) countries • Vaccination• Border control and related animal movements

Plan to move into Stage 2 in 2014

Recommendations:• Conduct active surveillance as to substantiate absence of FMD virus

• Need for training

• Apply for renewed OIE-PVS evaluation

Jordan 2014

* pending submission an activity plan to bettter understand FMDYemen: provisional Stage 1*

No clinical FMD

Key activities: • No direct efforts to control FMD, but looking into combining PPR and

Sheeppox and FMD control

Recommendations:• Develop activity plan of how to better understand FMD in Yemen

– could be incorporated in current control activities for PPR and Sheeppox

Yemen 2014

Pending answers to questions in relation to surveillance and control planOman: Provisional Stage 2*

Key activities: • Mass vaccination • Passive surveillance

Plan to remain in Stage 2 in 2014

Recommendations:• Provide insight/evidence on surveillance results (active and passive), on

effectiveness of vaccination

Oman 2014

* pending review control strategy by 1 April 2014

Syria: Provisional Stage 2*

No clinical FMD since 2002

Key activities:– Mass vaccination– Post-vaccination monitoring– Sero-surveillance

Plan to remain in Stage 2 in 2014 and progress to Stage 3 in 2015

Requested input/recommendation:– Need for documented evidence – considered to be part of the

strategy plan

Syria 2014

* To moveUAE: Provisional Stage

• For countries not submitting the assessment questionnaire and not being interviewed:– Please submit questionnaire

• Remain in stage as discussed previously– UAE: 2– Kuwait: 3– Qatar: 3– Saudi Arabia: 1– Bahrein: 2– Palestine: 1
