    Strengthening livelihoods through control of Peste des Petits Ruminants-TCP/INT/3503 2017

    With almost 70 percent of the global sheep and goat population at risk of Pestedes PetitsRuminants (PPR) -Sheep and Goat Plague, significant efforts are needed to consolidate the livelihoods, nutrition and food security of millions of livestock holders, in particular in Asia and Africa. In this context, the project contributed to filling gaps in existing strategies for control of the disease and supported the formulation of new ones in West Africa, Central Africa, North Africa and Central Asia. It also reviewed and updated the subregional strategy for Southeast Asia.

    The PPR Secretariat, the OIE Working Group on Wildlife, and the PPR Global Research and Expertise Network (GREN) have jointly developed these guidelines for PPR prevention, outbreak response, and control in wildlife, which can be used by countries to develop their PPR national strategic plans. These guidelines are intended to help countries in the development and implementation of PPR eradication programmes, including objectives, policies and strategies that can be adapted to the full range of national needs, and that facilitate the integration of the wildlife sector into the national strategic plan. Integration will enhance the conservation of wildlife populations, and facilitate management of diseases at the wildlife–livestock interface. Establishing a multisectoral coordination mechanism is essential to ensure good governance and effective collaboration in achieving PPR eradication goals. The purpose of this document is to provide a conceptual framework that can be tailored to a particular national and epidemiological context. In addition, these guidelines, while specific to PPR eradication, can be adapted for any disease at the wildlife–human–livestock interface.

    La Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) est une maladie hautement contagieuse des moutons et des chèvres causée par un Morbillivirus étroitement apparenté au virus de la peste bovine, et est considérée comme l’ une des maladies du cheptel les plus dommageables en Afrique, au Proche et Moyen-Orient et en Asie. Gardant à l’ esprit le fort impact négatif que la PPR peut avoir sur la sécurité alimentaire et la subsistance des agriculteurs pauvres, principaux éleveurs de moutons et de chèvres, le Program me Mondial de lutte contre les Maladies Animales Transfrontalières, le Comité directeur mondial du GF-TADs en 2012, le Conseil et le Comité de l’ Agriculture de l’ Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’ Alimentation et l’ Agriculture (FAO) ainsi que l’ Organisation Mondiale de la Santé Animale (OIE), sous la forme d’une Résolution de l’ Assemblée Mondiale des Délégués de l’ OIE en 2014, ont tous recommandé l’ élaboration d’une Stratégie mondiale pour le contrôle et l’ éradication de la PPR (appe lée ci-dessous « Stratégie mondiale ») et exprimé une forte volonté de traiter les problèmes de santé animale d’une façon systématique, abordant aussi bien les questions horizontales que celles qui sont plus spécifiques (questions verticales).de telle ou telle maladie
