    Guidelines for the Control and Prevention of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in Wildlife Populations
    Peste des petits ruminants Global Eradication Programme
    2021
    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.

    User guide version 2 (PMAT2)

    The PPR Monitoring and Assessment Tool (PMAT) is a resource to measure the achievement of and support the implementation of the peste des petits ruminants (PPR) global eradication programme (PPR GEP). PMAT2 is the revised version of the original PMAT, which has been redesigned in light of user feedback to make it easier to complete and to make the process and results more useful. PMAT2 is a self-assessment tool, in the form of an electronic questionnaire, that should be completed at least annually by the PPR National Coordinator and a team of subject matter experts. This user guide provides a comprehensive overview of the purpose and use of PMAT2. It includes a description of the role of the national staff, subject matter experts, the Regional Advisory Group (RAG) and the PPR Secretariat in the completion and review of the PMAT at the national, regional, and international levels. Country programmes are integrated into regional programmes through episystem approaches and regional roadmaps. Episystem being a geographical area with some specific characteristics (climatic conditions, production systems and livestock contact patterns), an approach based on that fact has been taken into consideration in the PMAT2 design to recognize that the PPR virus circulates in ecological systems that transcend international boundaries. Thus, PMAT2 supports the development of holistic, technical eradication strategies that address the PPR virus maintenance systems. For implementation purposes, regional roadmaps repackage the integrated episystem strategies as national plans and timelines grouped by their respective Regional Economic Community (REC). The PMAT2 user guide describes the structure of the questionnaire and presents examples of how to complete the questionnaire. The user guide also describes the qualitative scoring system used in PMAT2 and how the results should be interpreted. In addition to categorizing their levels of achievement to date, users are asked to enter pending activities that need completion at each stage of the eradication process. Upon completion, the tool generates tables of pending activities to assist future work planning.
