Fifth Strategic Plan Improve animal health, veterinary public health, animal welfare, and consolidate the animal’s role worldwide 3

‣ The role and responsibilities of the OIE correspond to a Global Public Good whose benefits extend to all countries, people and generations ‣ Sanitary crises, causing considerable economic losses, may be prevented by appropriate implementation of OIE standards on good governance by all those concerned 4 The OIE Vision

A stronger collaboration between WHO, FAO and OIE Sharing responsibilities and coordinating global activities to address health risks at the animal-human- ecosystems interfaces 5

Ministerial Declaration Meeting of G20 Agriculture Ministers Paris, 22 and 23 June 2011 Action Plan on Food Price Volatility and Agriculture “(25.) As far as public health, animal health and plant health are concerned, we stress the importance of strengthening international and regional networks, international standard setting taking into account national and regional differences, information, surveillance and traceability systems, good governance and official services, since they ensure an early detection and a rapid response to biological threats, facilitate trade flows and contribute to global food security (…)” 6

“(…) We encourage international organisations, especially FAO, the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) and WTO to continue their efforts towards enhancing interagency cooperation.” 7 G20 Ministerial declaration

PVS Gap Analysis an indicative 5-year Budget for the country’s Veterinary Services 22

A PVS Gap Analysis mission ‣ A PVS Gap Analysis mission facilitates the definition of country’s Veterinary Services’ objectives in terms of compliance with OIE quality standards, suitably adapted to national constraints and priorities. ‣ The country PVS Gap Analysis report includes an indicative operational budget for 5 years and an exceptional budget (necessary investments) when relevant. 23

Outputs Total budget Analysis of the budget Inputs Unit costs 24

PVS Gap Analysis ‣ To determine and confirm country priorities ‣ To facilitate the definition of country’s Veterinary Services’ objectives in terms of compliance with OIE quality standards (level of advancement defined in the OIE PVS tool), suitably adapted to national constraints and priorities. ‣ To identify specific activities required to address “gaps” (identified through the country PVS evaluation) 25

‣ Determining, the tasks and human, physical and financial resources required to implement these activities to enable the Veterinary Services to function appropriately ‣ Estimation of costs / Preparation of a 5-year budget ‣ Review of Veterinary Services Strategic Plan ‣ Support to preparation of investment programmes directed to government policy makers and, if needed to donors 26 PVS Gap Analysis

Twinning development ‣ OIE Sub-regional Representation in Tunis is developing a regional collaboration for Bluetongue between laboratories based in Italy, Tunisia, Algeria, and Lebanon, with an approach very similar to a twinning. ‣ The Sub-regional Representation seeks to develop a long-term collaboration between these and other laboratories in the Mediterranean region. 36

As of the end of May 2011 training activities were attended by: ‣ 5 experts in virology (Tunisia and Lebanon) ‣ 6 experts in entomology (Algeria, Tunisia and Lebanon) ‣ 5 experts in serology (Tunisia and Lebanon) ‣ 6 experts in quality of laboratories (Tunisia and Lebanon) Activities linked to this project will continue until end of Twinning development

Rinderpest Eradication ‣ OIE national Delegates of Members unanimously adopted Resolution 18/2011 which officially recognized, following thorough control by the OIE with the support of FAO, that all 198 countries and territories with rinderpest-susceptible animals in the world are free of the disease. 38

Rinderpest Eradication - What is next? ‣ Post-eradication phase starting just now constitutes a great challenge too. ‣ Although the rinderpest virus no longer circulates amongst live animals it is still present in a number of laboratories, e.g. for the production of vaccines, should the disease reappear as a result of an accidental release or deliberate act. ‣ FAO and OIE are working on the preparation and implementation of recommendations on confining the virus for research or vaccine production purposes, in full compliance with international biosecurity measures. 39

The Progressive Control Pathway for FMD control (PCP-FMD)

OIE official sanitary status ‣ The Sub-Regional Representation for North Africa intends to provide support to interested countries within the region to obtain official sanitary status for FMD. ‣ In September 2010, a technical meeting was held on “Official sanitary status of FMD: Interests for countries of North Africa” with the participation of all the delegates of the region; ‣ In December 2010, a roundtable took place with the heads of the veterinary laboratories of the Maghreb region. 41

Common goal for Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia: to present three application files for FMD-free status, with or without vaccination. Support to obtain official FMD sanitary status will continue with the organisation and facilitation of the Drafting Committee, which aims to finalise the application files by the end of ‣ The first meeting of the Drafting Committee took place on March 3 and 4, ‣ The second meeting was held in Tunis on June 9 and 10, ‣ The third meeting will be held in Tunis from September 21 to 23, OIE official sanitary status

These representations closely collaborate with Regional Commissions and are directly under the Director General’s authority. OIE Offices Worldwide 43
