The overall objectives of the EuFMD training programme are to support the capacity development of Veterinary Services and animal health workers to improve preparedness for management of FMD And Similar Transboundary animal disease (FAST diseases) emergencies by EuFMD Member Nations (MNs), reduce risk in neighbouring countries and sustain and enhance progress in the roll-out of the Global Framework for the Progressive Control of Transboundary Animal Diseases (GF-TADs) global strategy.

Training for EuFMD Member Nations

The EuFMD training programme is aligned with the Progressive Learning Pathway (PLP) - a learning framework that supports the ongoing development of emergency preparedness and response capacity of Veterinary Services.

The overall objective is to improve the preparedness of MNs for Foot-and-mouth disease And Similar Transboundary animal diseases (FAST diseases). Each MN is allocated Training Credits at the beginning of each biennium. MNs then choose how to use their Training Credits by selecting the activities that best suit their priorities.
