    Two years ago on 28 June 2011 during the 37th FAO Conference, a Resolution was adopted declaring Global Freedom from Rinderpest and the Implementation of Follow-up Measures to Maintain World Freedom from Rinderpest.The Resolution recognized this outstanding global achievement which has shown what is possible when nations work together to make the world a safer place. The Resolution also called FAO to use lessons learned from the eradication to prevent and control other devastating transb oundary animal diseases like peste des petits ruminants (PPR).FAO, the World Organisation for Animal Health and partners are now formulating a global PPR control strategy.The publication of the proceedings of the events leading to the global declaration serves to commemorate the second anniversary of rinderpest.

    The world has been free of rinderpest, a highly contagious bovine illness, since 2011, when it was eradicated. Prior to the implementation of this project, an initial Phase I project successfully supported twelve countries in destroying or transferring their rinderpest virus stocks to rinderpest holding facilities (RHFs), among other things. The aim of this Phase II project was to continue to maintain global freedom from rinderpest by: (1) strengthening awareness of clinical signs and impacts of rinderpest re-emergence; (2) coordinating the destruction and consolidation of remaining rinderpest virus containing material (RVCM) into secure RHFs; (3) encouraging unapproved laboratories to destroy and consolidate RVCM stocks in targeted countries; and (4) developing and implementing the Global Rinderpest Action Plan (GRAP). The project was carried out by FAO and the World Organisationfor Animal Health (WOAH) Rinderpest Co-secretariat and their Joint Advisory Committee (JAC).
