No results found.The first meeting of the GCC-FMD was organized virtually under the umbrella of the GF-TADs, by its FMD Working Group (WG), during 22-23 September 2021. The participants included representatives of 13 GCC-FMD Standing Member organizations, 10 Observers, representatives from the FAO and OIE regional offices, the representatives from FAO/OIE regional Reference Centres, the head of the FAO/OIE World Reference Laboratory for FMD (WRLFMD, The Pirbright Institute, UK). The FMD-WG, is looking to this committee to guide in the final phase of the implementation of the FAO/OIE Global FMD Control Strategy, through sharing information and experiences, improving the alignment and coordination of regional initiatives with the FAO/OIE Global FMD control strategy and eventually developing a 5-year global FMD action plan. The overall purpose of the GCC-FMD is to: (i) Facilitate the implementation of the Global strategy as it is entering the final phase of its implementation; (ii) Enhance information exchange and coordination at regional level; (iii) Enable replication of success across regions. The Standing members elected the Chair (PANAFTOSA) and Co-chair (GFRA) for 3-year term (2021-2023). Ms. Maria Helena Semedo, Deputy Director General, FAO and Ms. Monique Eloit, Director General, OIE graced the opening session of the first meeting of the newly established GCC-FMD. The expected outcomes of the meeting were: (i) Better understanding of FMD dynamics and control strategies/initiatives at global, regional and national levels; (ii) Enhanced coordination and communication among the stakeholders to better implement the global FMD control strategy for significant impact; (iii) SWOT analysis of regional initiatives w.r.t the three components of the Global FMD control Strategy and identification of potential solutions; (iv) Identified next steps for the development of action plan for next phase of the global FMD control strategy; (v) Advocacy and better understanding of development partners and stakeholders on FMD control initiatives and their impact. -
ProjectEmergency Technical Assistance to Mitigate the Impact of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in Jordan - TCP/JOR/3808 2023

No results found.In the Middle East, the presence of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) has significantly hindered the growth of the dairy industry and sheep flocks. A highly contagious viral disease that severely affects livestock, FMD can lead to substantial economic impacts and as a transboundary animal disease (TAD), it profoundly affects livestock production and disrupts regional and international trade involving animals and animal products. While the morbidity rate in susceptible animals can reach nearly 100 percent, the disease is typically non-fatal except for young animals. Nonetheless, the economic impact is substantial due to the loss of milk production in the two months following the onset of clinical signs. Jordan has experienced multiple outbreaks of FMD that impact sheep and cattle in seven governorates, namely Amman, Irbid, Karak, Madaba, Jordan Valley, Mafraq and Zarqa. The morbidity rate of FMD in sheep and cattle, as determined by PCR testing, varied between 16 percent and 100 percent. These circumstances have resulted in both direct losses, such as reduced production, fertility and changes in herd structure, as well as indirect losses due to the costs of FMD control and limited market access.
