40th General Session of the EuFMD • 22-24 April 2013, Rome (Italy)

Pillar 2

Proposed activities

Reduce risk to members from the European

neighbourhood

(progressive control in neighbouring regions)


Strategic Plan and 24 month Workplan – Item 8.1

1. South-East Europe (West Eurasia)

2. South-East Mediterranean

3. North Africa (REMESA)

4. Surveillance in support

Outline


Proposed areas of work:

• Support Turkey (and TCC new members) in relation to FMD

situation in their neighborhood

• Co-ordination – West Eurasia Roadmap Secretariat (GfTADs)

• Collation of information for risk management – Vaccination database,

virus circulation, PCP activities

• Neighborhood of Turkey (part of coordinated GF-TADs programs)

– Training in practical application of epidemiology to advance along

PCP

– Engage with VS in detection, management & control of FMD

– Develop country-specific PCP action plans designed to improve

national capacity to manage and control FMD

2.1: South-East Europe: promote better management

in Turkey and neighbours


European Neighbourhood countries within the

West Eurasia roadmap


Proposed areas of work: Secretarial and coordination support

for European Neighbourhood countries within the W. Eurasia

roadmap (part of GF-TADs programs )

• Annual Roadmap Meetings:

– Regional risk assessment, information sharing

– Roadmap Review

– Coordination of prevention measures

– Platform for reviewing international assistance needs




China

Russia


Proposed areas of work: Collation, analysis and application of

epidemiological data

• Critical for ongoing monitoring and evaluation within PCP Stage 2

– Implementation and impact indicators

• Currently (2013) national level data provided to EuFMD monthly –

5 countries

• Activities will improve the tools available to national focal points to

analyse their own programmes

– West Eurasia database as tool for managers

• Develop modelling for optimising control measures

– Critical for regionalisation and moving to PCP Stage 3 – FMD elimination

– Assist options analysis - in national strategy development




Proposed areas of work: Training in practical application of

epidemiology to advance along PCP

• Recognised shortage of capacity in epidemiology in VS:

breadth and depth

1. 2nd PEP-C course (early 2014) - then review

2. Continue to engage graduates of 1st PEP-C course: depth

1. Training in participatory epidemiology

• Requested by 1st PEP-C cohort as very valuable skill set to work with

and collect useful data from stakeholders

2. Working on targeted projects with international experts (missions)

Training in practical application of epidemiology to advance along PCP


Proposed areas of work: Engage with VS in detection, management & control of FMD (I)

• Build on: WELNET laboratory network

• Support WELNET annual workplan – greater role for Turkish national reference laboratory

• Co-ordinate: – system for use of Epi-, Lab data and national focal points to achieve

submission/strains:

– Alert national focal points to events that need activity

– Ensure vaccine matching and other results are communicated to risk managers

– Support for greater within region phylogenetic analysis and vaccine matching




Proposed areas of work: Engage with VS in detection,

management & control of FMD (II)

2. Management & control of FMD

– Address technical needs of national PCP activities

• Evidence-based control: based on surveillance data (training, missions)

• Value chain analysis: basis of control strategy in stages 1-3: overview of

animals movements and key stakeholders, socio-economic incentives –

who benefits and who should pay? (workshop)

• How implement and monitor ‘risk-based’ vaccination? (workshop)

• Rapid response to incursions of new serotypes/strains to minimize impact

(Contingency planning workshop)

Engage with VS in detection, management & control of FMD


Proposed areas of work: Develop country specific PCP action plans

designed to improve national capacity to manage and control FMD

(as part of coordinated GF-TADs )

• The gaps have been identified (Roadmap 2013)

• National actions plans are a national responsibility but may need

technical guidance and support

– Economic benefits of control options (requested often!!)

– Optimising programs - risk management in each production system

– Cost-effectiveness of control options in PCP Stage 2 & 3

• Learn by doing:

– For VS to apply knowledge gained by training

– Build up regional capacity /experts to apply PCP principles

Develop country specific PCP action plans designed to improve

national capacity to manage and control FMD


A decentralised facility to provide technical and

management support to FMD control and PCP progression

Proposed structure of work: pool of expertise to support FMD

management

Participating countries: • EuFMD member states

Turkey

• Georgia, Azerbaijan,

Armenia – potential MS

• Other countries in region –

to be decided, funding and

GfTADS basis


Supporting managers in decision making – using the network of trained national experts and strategic use of international experts

National expertise: • National focal points (PEP-C graduates)

• WelNet members

• Roadmap Advisory group (currently elected members from: Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, Pakistan)

International backstopping: • EuFMD staff and consultants

• Pillar II Special Committee members (for reviewing reports and specific technical proposals)

• GfTADS FMD Secretariat Working group in FAO/OIE

West Eurasia FMD management support

West Eurasia –

The challenge of

management continues to

teach us lessons of wider

importance in using the

PCP


South-East Mediterranean: support better FMD management in

the neighborhood of Cyprus and Israel

Significant FMD threats from TWO virus pools :-

1- From West Eurasia: • Sweeping epidemics of huge intra-regional impact

• Frequency and speed of spread increasing: – Overspill to middle-east and north Africa (Libya)

– Four regional epidemics in 4 years (2009-12) • Two (A, O) reached Libya

• One reached Bulgaria (Type O)

• Asia1 Sindh-08 strain

2- From sub-Saharan Africa into Egypt and Libya in 2012: – African type A (A/Africa/G-IV)

– African type O (O/EA3) – same lineage detected in Egypt and Libya

– SAT2 (Libya and Egypt, different lineages)

– Ongoing risk of further sub-Saharan virus incursions

Need for forum for countries & international organizations to discuss issues and identify practical solutions


Type O, Type A, Type Asia-1, Type SAT2

2011

FMD incursions into the Middle East and North Africa 2008-13

Risk to Israel and its neighbours


Workplan Proposal Under GfTADS:
