FMD Practical Management Series 

Progressive Control pathway – what is new and news about its implementation from the TransCaucasus region and from Georgia

The Progressive Control Pathway for Foot and Mouth Disease (PCP-FMD) was developed by FAO and EuFMD and further endorsed by the OIE to assist FMD endemic countries to reduce progressively the impact of the disease and the load of FMD virus.

The new version of the PCP-FMD will be explained in the webinar. It consists of two distinct domains: (i) a Global Framework for the Progressive Control of Transboundary Animal Diseases pathway from Stage 0 up to and including stage 3 and (ii) an OIE pathway beyond Stage 3.

In the second part of the webinar, two examples of improved regional and national FMD risk reduction will be presented: a database on sharing of FMD outbreaks and vaccination in the TransCaucasus region and an update on the risk-based FMD control in Georgia.
