Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPeste des petits ruminants Monitoring and Assessment Tool
User guide version 2 (PMAT2)
2025Also available in:
No results found.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. -

Global Eradication Programme (PPR-GEP)
2024Also available in:
No results found.This is an awareness raising leaflet highlighting the clinical signs of Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) which is the target of a Global Eradication Programme, coordinated by FAO and WOAH. This leaflet will enable better disease recognition by veterinarians, veterinary paraprofessionals and farmers, with the intention of early response and reduced disease spread and impact. Ultimately, limiting disease spread and achieving the goal of PPR global eradication will contribute to Sustainable Development, enhanced animal productivity, inclusive rural livelihoods, and socioeconomic benefits.
Il s'agit d'un dépliant de sensibilisation mettant en avant les signes cliniques de la Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) qui fait l'objet d'un programme mondial d'éradication, coordonné par la FAO et la OMSA. Ce dépliant permettra une meilleure reconnaissance des maladies par les vétérinaires, les paraprofessionnels vétérinaires et les agriculteurs, dans le but d'intervenir rapidement et de réduire la propagation et l'impact de la maladie. En fin de compte, limiter la propagation de la maladie et atteindre l’objectif d’éradication mondiale de la PPR contribuera au développement durable, à l’amélioration de la productivité animal. -
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.
