Book (stand-alone)High-profileInvesting in the control and eradication of peste des petits ruminants 2015This 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.

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.

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

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTackling Climate Change through Livestock
A global assessment of emissions and mitigation opportunities
2013As renewed international efforts are needed to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the livestock sector can contribute its part. An important emitter of greenhouse gas, it also has the potential to significantly reduce its emissions. This report provides a unique global assessment of the magnitude, the sources and pathways of emissions from different livestock production systems and supply chains. Relying on life cycle assessment, statistical analysis and scenario building, it also prov ides estimates of the sector’s mitigation potential and identifies concrete options to reduce emissions. The report is a useful resource for stakeholders from livestock producers to policy-makers, researchers and civil society representatives, which also intends to inform the public debate on the role of livestock supply chains in climate change and possible solutions.
