Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a destructive, fast spreading viral disease that kills sheep and goats (small ruminants) and devastates livelihoods throughout most of Africa, the Middle East, West, Central and South Asia, and most recently East Asia. The PPR situation is dynamic and threatening. In 2016, the disease was reported for the first time in Georgia and Mongolia. FAO and OIE, in consultation with key stakeholders, developed a five-year Global Eradication Programme 2017-2021.

The PPR Secretariat, the OIE Working Group on Wildlife, and the PPR Global Research and Expertise Network (GREN) have jointly developed these guidelines for PPR prevention, outbreak response, and control in wildlife, which can be used by countries to develop their PPR national strategic plans. These guidelines are intended to help countries in the development and implementation of PPR eradication programmes, including objectives, policies and strategies that can be adapted to the full range of national needs, and that facilitate the integration of the wildlife sector into the national strategic plan. Integration will enhance the conservation of wildlife populations, and facilitate management of diseases at the wildlife–livestock interface. Establishing a multisectoral coordination mechanism is essential to ensure good governance and effective collaboration in achieving PPR eradication goals. The purpose of this document is to provide a conceptual framework that can be tailored to a particular national and epidemiological context. In addition, these guidelines, while specific to PPR eradication, can be adapted for any disease at the wildlife–human–livestock interface.

Peste des Petits Ruminants Global Eradication Programme II & III: Overview of the plan of action
Together for Peste des Petits Ruminants Global Eradication by 2030. Blueprint
2022

In 2015, the international community agreed that PPR could be the second livestock disease to be eradicated by 2030. The first five years of the global eradication programme (PPR GEP I) ran from 2017 to 2021, after which a mid-term review was conducted. Based on lessons learnt during the first five years, and feedback received during the consultation period, the second and third phase of the programme (PPR GEP II and III) have been developed (“”PPR Blueprint””). This document summarizes the plan of action by outlining the key strategies that must be implemented, and the partnerships that must be fostered, to achieve the eradication goal. The intermediate and long-term objectives of the programme are described, and the document also highlights potential risks, and how these can be mitigated. Finally, the document summarizes the estimated cost of the programme, and the different components that contribute to these costs.
