1. PCP-FMD Roadmap Progress review Regional Advisory Group – 3 March 2014, Amman - Jordan Elias Ibrahim – president RAG – CVO Lebanon Chris Bartels – PCP expert - EuFMD Giancarlo Ferrari – PCP expert - FAO

2. Checklist sent beforehand and completed in good time – If not sent, you are kindly requested to do it this month (March14) Country presentations Country interviews – 2-way discussion, evidence Advisory group meeting  Provisional PCP Stage Assignment PCP Assessment 2014

3. PCP Stage 1 Stage 1 Outcomes To 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 circulates 3Estimate socio-economic impact on different stakeholders 4Identification of circulating FMD strains 5Development of enabling environment and strengthening vet services 6Transparency and commitment to FMD control in region 7 Identify important risk hotspots for FMD transmisssion 8Adopt 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

4. PCP Stage 2 Stage 2 Outcome 1Ongoing monitoring of circulating strains and risk in different husbandry systems 2Risk based of control measures implemented in at least one sector or zone 3FMD Impact is reduced by the control measures 4Enabling environment and Strengthening veterinary services 5Development 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. Egypt: Provisional Stage 2* pending review control plan

8. 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

9. * pending review control plan through FMD-WG before 1 April 2014 and PVS evaluation when appropriate Iraq: Provisional Stage 2*

10. 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

11. * pending submission control plan by 1 April 2014 Lebanon: Provisional Stage 2* No clinical FMD since 2010 No PCP-FMD Stage 1 quesionnaire was submitted

12. 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

13. Jordan: Provisional Stage 2* No clinical FMD since 2006 * pending submission control plan and conducting active sero surveillance

14. 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

15. * pending submission an activity plan to bettter understand FMD Yemen: provisional Stage 1* No clinical FMD

16. 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

17. Pending answers to questions in relation to surveillance and control plan Oman: Provisional Stage 2*

18. 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

19. * pending review control strategy by 1 April 2014 Syria: Provisional Stage 2* No clinical FMD since 2002

20. 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

21. * To move UAE: Provisional Stage

22. 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
