This course is part of a collection of self-directed online courses that aim to support progress on the Progressive Control Pathway for Foot-and-Mouth Disease (PCP-FMD).
This course introduces the Risk-Based Strategic Plan (RBSP). The RBSP describes how a country will reduce the impact of FMD in at least one husbandry sector or geographical area. The RBSP applies the outputs and knowledge gained through the implementation of the activities in PCP-FMD Stage One. An accepted RBSP is required for countries to be recognized as in PCP-FMD Stage Two.
The course consists of six self-directed online modules. These modules describe the purpose of the RBSP, give guidance on how to develop a risk-based control strategy and explain they key content that should be included within each chapter of the RBSP document.
