Synopsis (short abstract) The five year Peste des Petits Ruminant Global Eradication Programme (PPR-GEP) highlights the technical and policy tools foreseen as appropriate to lay the foundation for and commencement of PPR eradication by reducing the prevalence of PPR in currently infected countries. The programme will also develop capacity for non-infected countries to demonstrate the absence of PPR Virus leading towards official endorsement of PPR free status by the OIE. During its course the programme will strengthen national Veterinary Service that are the key players in the successful implementation of the PPR GEP. When appropriate, the programme will also support reducing the prevalence of other prioritized small ruminant diseases if it helps in the implementation of the PPR GEP.

    Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious disease of sheep and goats caused by a Morbillivirus closely related to rinderpest virus and is considered to be one of the most damaging livestock diseases in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Bearing in mind the strong negative impact that PPR can have on food security and the livelihoods of poor farmers, the main keepers of sheep and goats, the Global Framework for the Progressive Control of Transboundary Animal Diseases (GF-TADs) Global Steering Committee in 2012, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO) Council and the Committee on Agriculture (COAG) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), in the form of a Resolution of the World Assembly of Delegates of the OIE in 2014, have all recommended the development of a PPR Global Control and Eradication Strategy (hereinafter named ‘Global Strategy’) and expressed a strong willingness to address the animal health problems in a systematic way, dea ling with horizontal as well as more disease-specific (vertical) issues.

    Programme mondial d'éradication de la peste des petits ruminants
    contribuant à la sécurité alimentaire, à l'atténuation de la pauvreté et à la résilience
    2017
    Also available in:
    La Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) est une maladie hautement contagieuse causée par un Morbillivirus (famille des Paramyxoviridés) qui affecte les petits ruminants sauvages et domestiques. Elle est présente dans toute l’Afrique (sauf dans les pays situés le plus au sud), au Moyen-Orient, en Turquie, en Asie de l’Ouest et du Sud et en Chine. Signalée pour la première fois en 1942, la PPR se propage à un rythme alarmant depuis 15 ans, atteignant des régions antérieurement non infectées et mettant en péril des centaines de millions de petits ruminants. Dans les populations nouvellement infectées, la PPR a eu des effets dévastateurs sur le plan socio-économique, portant gravement atteinte aux moyens d’existence, à la sécurité alimentaire et à la nutrition de millions de petits agriculteurs et éleveurs nomades. Les estimations des pertes annuelles imputables à la PPR au plan mondial se situent entre 1,4 milliard et 2,1 milliards d’USD.1 La perte de bétail contraint les éleveurs nomades et les agriculteurs ruraux à quitter leurs terres et leurs cultures pour chercher d’autres moyens d’existence. Ces pertes génèrent de la pauvreté, de la malnutrition, une instabilité économique et sociale et des conflits.

    Investing in the control and eradication of peste des petits ruminants 2015
    Also available in:
    This advocacy document outlines why investing in the control and eradication of peste des petits ruminants is an investment in food security. Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), a highly contagious disease affecting sheep and goats, causes a staggering USD 1.45 billion to USD 2.1 billion in losses each year. PPR affects the livelihoods of more than 330 million of the world’s poorest people in over 70 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Eradicating PPR will help improve food security, n utrition, incomes and livelihood resilience of millions of poor farmers around the world. In response to calls from member countries, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Organisation for Animal Health have taken the lead in developing a Global Strategy for the control and eradication of PPR. By making an overall investment of USD 7.1 billion, PPR can be eradicated within 15 years.
