Synopsis (short abstract) Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a destructive, fast spreading viral disease that kills sheep and goats (small ruminants) and devastates livelihoods throughout most of Africa, the Middle East, West, Central and South Asia, and most recently East Asia. The PPR situation is dynamic and threatening. In 2016, the disease was reported for the first time in Georgia and Mongolia. FAO and OIE, in consultation with key stakeholders, developed a five-year Global Eradication Programme 2017-2021.

This booklet is one of a series prepared by FAO’s Emergency System for Transboundary Animal and Plant Pests and Diseases (EMPRES) Livestock Unit, as an aid to emergency preparedness for the major transboundary diseases of livestock. Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), which is also known as goat plague, is a disease of increasing importance in Africa and Asia wherever small ruminants form an important component of agricultural food production. It can affect a broad range of species, including some antelopes, as has already been seen in zoological garden collections but, fortunately, not in the wild. The disease was once thought to be a comparatively restricted problem in West Africa, but it is now known to extend throughout most of West, Central and East Africa, reaching eastwards through western and South Asia.

Peste des Petits Ruminants Global Eradication Programme II & III: Overview of the plan of action
Together for Peste des Petits Ruminants Global Eradication by 2030. Blueprint
2022

Also available in:

No results found.

In 2015, the international community agreed that PPR could be the second livestock disease to be eradicated by 2030. The first five years of the global eradication programme (PPR GEP I) ran from 2017 to 2021, after which a mid-term review was conducted. Based on lessons learnt during the first five years, and feedback received during the consultation period, the second and third phase of the programme (PPR GEP II and III) have been developed (“”PPR Blueprint””). This document summarizes the plan of action by outlining the key strategies that must be implemented, and the partnerships that must be fostered, to achieve the eradication goal. The intermediate and long-term objectives of the programme are described, and the document also highlights potential risks, and how these can be mitigated. Finally, the document summarizes the estimated cost of the programme, and the different components that contribute to these costs.
