5. The OIE’s Objectives
Comments (with copyright) / Commentaires (soumis au Copyright) :

6. The OIE’s global objective
The OIE was created in 1924
to prevent animal diseases from spreading around the world
The 4th Strategic Plan 2006/2010 extends the OIE’s global mandate to
“the improvement of animal health all over the world”

7. The OIE’s objectives
The historical objectives
ANIMAL HEALTH INFORMATION:
to ensure transparency in the global animal disease and zoonosis situation
to collect, analyse and disseminate scientific veterinary information
Comments (with copyright) / Commentaires (soumis au Copyright) : [source :
Objective 1 : To ensure transparency in the global animal disease situation
“Each Member Country undertakes to report the animal diseases that it detects on its territory. The OIE then disseminates the information to other countries, which can take the necessary preventive action. This information also includes diseases transmissible to humans and intentional introduction of pathogens. Information is sent out immediately or periodically depending on the seriousness of the disease. This objective applies to disease occurrences both naturally occurring and deliberately caused. Dissemination is via the OIE Web site, and the following periodicals: Disease Information, published weekly and the annual compilation World Animal Health.”
Objectif 1 : Garantir la transparence de la situation des maladies animales et des zoonoses dans le monde
« Chaque Pays Membre s'engage à déclarer les maladies animales qu'il détecte sur son territoire. L'OIE diffuse alors l'information à tous les autres pays afin qu'ils puissent se protéger. Cette information concerne également les maladies transmissibles à l'homme. Elle est diffusée en urgence ou de façon différée selon la gravité de la maladie. Ces objectifs de surveillance et de suivi s'appliquent à la fois aux événements sanitaires naturels ou intentionnels. Les supports de diffusion sont le site Web de l'OIE, le courrier électronique et les périodiques suivants : Informations sanitaires, publiées chaque semaine, et le recueil annuel Santé animale mondiale. »

8. The OIE’s objectives (cont.)
New objectives
ACTIVITIES OF VETERINARY SERVICES
to provide expertise and encourage international solidarity in the control of animal diseases
to improve the legal framework and resources of national Veterinary Services
Comments (with copyright) / Commentaires (soumis au Copyright) : [source :
Objective 3 : To provide expertise and encourage international solidarity in the control of animal diseases
“The OIE provides technical support to Members requesting assistance with animal disease control and eradication operations, including diseases transmissible to humans. The OIE notably offers expertise to the poorest countries to help them control animal diseases that cause livestock losses, present a risk to public health and threaten other Members.
The OIE has a permanent contact to international regional and national financial organizations in order to convince them to invest more and better on the control of animal diseases and zoonosis.”
Objectif 3 : Apporter son expertise et stimuler la solidarité internationale pour contrôler les maladies animales
« L'OIE appuie techniquement les Pays Membres qui le souhaitent pour soutenir des opérations de contrôle et d'éradication des maladies animales, y compris celles transmissibles à l'homme. L'OIE propose notamment son expertise aux pays les plus pauvres pour les aider à contrôler les maladies animales qui provoquent des pertes dans leur cheptel, peuvent mettre en danger la santé publique et menacent les autres Pays Membres.
L'OIE maintient un contact permanent, au niveau régional et national, avec les organismes financiers internationaux afin de les convaincre d'investir plus et mieux dans le contrôle des maladies animales et des zoonoses. »

Comments (with copyright) / Commentaires (soumis au Copyright) :

49. The OIE’s global objective
The OIE was created in 1924
to prevent animal diseases from spreading around the world
The 4th Strategic Plan 2006/2010 extends the OIE’s global mandate to
“the improvement of animal health all over the world”

50. New priorities of the IVth Plan
Consolidation of 3 missions from the former Strategic Plan
To ensure transparency in the global animal disease situation
Publishing scientific based standards, especially with reference to the WTO
Publishing guidelines for the prevention, control and eradication of animal diseases, including zoonosis; acknowledgement of Members health status

51. New strategic items (1)
Capacities building training of Delegates and their relevant staff, in particular national focal points (relation with the OIE, sanitary information system, aquatic animals, wildlife, veterinary medicinal products…)
By using new mechanisms such as STDF

52. New strategic items (2)
Strengthening the OIE’s influence on global, regional and national policies, about governance policies handling animal health and prioritization within scientific research policy

53. New strategic items (3)
Strengthening of OIE as an adviser of Members to settle their sanitary disputes
expert

54. Practical consequences
Reinforcement of OIE capacities
necessity to strengthen Regional Representations
defining a financing mechanism by the Members Countries of each region (in addition to the financing program of the host country)
staff development, development of internship, support from the private sector (within the limits of existing rules)
necessity to formalize relations between Regional Representatives and elected Bureaus of the Regional Commissions

55. Scientific influence Practical consequences (cont.)
necessity to audit and strengthen the OIE’s Collaborating Centres and Reference Laboratories Network
development of twinning procedures and of specific projects supporting laboratories
greater concerns from OIE about zoonotic diseases

56. Practical consequences (cont.)
Influence on global governance of animal health
develop OIE’s communication department
clarify further the relation with WHO and FAO, by negotiating detailed Agreements and alliances for specific operational programmes
pursue lobbying of multi and bi-lateral organisations to persuade them that investing in animal health and Veterinary Services is a real national and global priority

57. Influence on national policies
Practical consequences (cont.)
Influence on national policies
convince Governments of the importance of the OIE Delegate’s position
convince Governments that they should invest more in monitoring and preventing animal diseases, as a low cost insurance compared to high cost outbreak crisis
support Delegates from developing Countries to participate actively in standard-setting and in SPS and Codex meetings

58. Conclusion OIE is a Public Good
The implementation of the 4th Strategic Plan through the Director General’s work programme will continue to show that, since 1924,
OIE is a Public Good
for the international Community and that its cost for Members is negligible compared to the services provided in return

59. Good Governance of Veterinary Services
Requirements for all countries
Need for appropriate legislation and implementation through national animal health systems providing for:
Early detection, Transparency, Notification
Rapid response to animal disease outbreaks
Biosecurity
Compensation
Vaccination when appropriate

60. Good Governance of Veterinary Services
Building and maintaining efficient epidemiosurveillance networks and territorial meshing in the entire national territory, potentially for all animal diseases...
a responsibility of Governments
Concept of ‘Quality of Services’ adopted by all OIE Members

61. Activities of Veterinary Services
Veterinary Services are a Global Public Good
with beneficial effects for:
Poverty Alleviation
Securing assets (capital, animal)
Increasing productivity
Market Access: local, regional and international
Public Health: food safety and food security

62. Performance of Veterinary Services
