3. OIE / FAO - Complementarities and Synergies framework for the last steps towards declaration of rinderpest eradication
The official agreement between FAO and OIE was updated taking into account the evolving activities and challenges of both organisations
Both organisations have been strongly involved in the fight against rinderpest
Ample documentation and expertise on rinderpest has been accumulated which should be made accessible to the world animal health community
Final steps of global eradication of rinderpest require joint efforts at international, regional and national level
A declaration of global rinderpest eradication and addressing responsibilities at long term could only be achieved by a declaration at a highest international animal health authority level,
International acknowledgment of all the efforts by the regional, national and financial contributors who made eradication possible
