OIE Sixth Strategic Plan  Consolidated statement of OIE’s strategic vision and its global goals, based on the successful activities undertaken during the Fifth Plan. “Protecting animals; preserving our future”, leading to economic prosperity and social and environmental well-being.

MAIN CHALLENGES

Global and External Challenges  Recurring sanitary concerns (PPR, CBPP, Rabies, FMD, etc.)  Emerging and re-emerging diseases: AI, MERS, Ebola  Environmental risks Biodiversity Range management  Societal challenges Food security / population growth Changes in consumption patterns / animal proteins Changes in production systems Animal Welfare New technologies

Structural and Internal Challenges  Scientific excellence : experts, Reference Centres network, and OIE staff quality – relevance – accuracy  Information transparency, timeliness, quality, adaptation to users’ expectations  Governance and organisational needs efficiency – performance – policies and procedures  New technologies

Overview of the 6th Strategic Plan Strategic Objectives  securing animal health and welfare, the sanitary safety of animals and animal products and foods derived from animals, and reduction in the transmission of diseases by managing risks at the human-animal-environment interface  establishing trust between stakeholders, including trading partners, in the cross-border exchange of animals, animal products and foods derived from animals by transparency and good communication of the occurrence of diseases of epidemiological significance, and in OIE processes and procedures  enhancing the capacity and sustainability of national Veterinary Services

Strategic Objective 1: Securing Animal Health and Welfare by Appropriate Risk Management Main Components  Continued development of timely, current and scientifically-based Intergovernmental Standards for animal health, animal welfare and animal production food safety, for terrestrial and aquatic animals Guidelines for the management, control and/or eradication of diseases, including those at the animal-human- environment interface

Examples:  International and regional programmes for the global eradication or control of specific diseases of economic and social importance (canine Rabies, FMD, PPR, etc.)  Establishment of a new business model for private sector partnerships  Effective and judicious management of the use of antimicrobial substances  Understanding the relationship between climate change and eco-system health, biodiversity loss Strategic Objective 1: Securing Animal Health and Welfare by Appropriate Risk Management

Strategic Objective 2: Establishing Trust Through Transparency and Communication  A high level communication profile for the OIE based on more use of social media tools, press releases and press conferences to respond to global events  Expansion of OIE’s communication networks to contribute to discussions on social, economic and environmental values  Strongly coherent and expanded interface between WAHIS and regional and/or national databases

Strategic Objective 3: Ensuring the Capacity and Sustainability of Veterinary Services Main Components  Continual development of up-to-date standards and guidelines for the management of Veterinary Services and their components  Direct support (including capacity development) and technical advice to Member Countries to enable them to apply and to meet these standards and guidelines, as well as to implement the recommendations made through the PVS missions  Policy advice including the mediation of disputes

 Training and development of Delegates and national focal points  Joint OIE/WHO national workshops between animal health and human health services  Twinning arrangements between Reference Centres, between Veterinary Statutory Bodies and between veterinary educational institutions  A better definition of the role of paraprofessionals and non-veterinary specialists Strategic Objective 3: Ensuring the Capacity and Sustainability of Veterinary Services

The Cross-Cutting Areas 2016 – 2020 A: Scientific Excellence  A progressive and comprehensive independent evaluation of existing OIE Reference Centres will be undertaken  The identification and involvement of next generation scientists and those with “hands-on” experience in new technologies  Organize scientific global and regional conferences and workshops to address important issues B: Diversity, Inclusiveness, Engagement, Transparency  More engagement of veterinary and scientific experts from OIE Reference Centres in ad-hoc groups, working groups and staffing  The use of a wider demographic base for the appointment of experts to Working Groups and ad hoc Groups C: Governance

Regional Perspectives Challenges 1.Statutory contributions (New categories A and B) and voluntary contributions (ad hoc contributions through the WF) 2.Improve participation in the standard setting process (submission of written comments on proposed new or revised standards) - Discussion blog 3.Active participation in FMD, PPR and rabies control programmes
