7 FMD-related activities took up most of the time!

8 Relevant GSC 4 Recommendations On financial sustainability: GF-TADs Management Committee to continue to explore ways and means to finance the GF-TADs basic costs to make it sustainable, both at Regional and Global level On membership: For the next period: ASEAN and AU-IBAR be the rotating members of the Global Steering Committee; EU, France, Italy, USA and World Bank to represent the funding partners One of the Regional GF-TADs Secretariats; to be chosen by OIE and FAO GSC 5 to be organized in Paris, October 16-17, 2012

9 GSC 4 RECs (2) To develop a reporting template for the Regional GF- TADs Steering Committees to the annual GSC meeting To assist the Regional GF-TADs Steering Committee s in drafting their multi-annual Strategic/Action Plans To request regional input by July 2012 to develop the Global GF-TAD Action Plan To develop a five-year Global GF-TADs Action Plan, taking into account the RSC s Action Plans as well as the One Health approach Discuss the Action Plan in the MC and the next GSC meeting in October 2012

10 GSC 4 RECs (3) with respect to Transboundary Animal Diseases Control FMD 1. Green light for the Strategy presented, but ensure input from regional representatives and experts; Align the FMD initiative with the priorities of the main funding partners (poverty alleviation and food security); Emphasize other horizontal (animals health systems) and vertical (other priority disease) activities 2. Include a donor consensus and support session in the Global FMD Conference in Bangkok 3. The Progressive Control Pathway (PCP) for FMD should be the basis for FMD control in endemically infected countries and this should be supported by funding partners.

11 Rinderpest GSC 4 RECs (4) 1. Post eradication activities, in particular related to sequestration and global preparedness, be implemented as soon as possible 2. Joint Advisory Committee (9 members); Joint Secretariat PPR 1. The GF-TADs GSC to set up a joint FAO/OIE Working Group on PPR (following the FMD WG model); 2. The PPR WG to take stock of the ongoing regional and national initiatives, strategies and projects and produce an overview describing ways to proceed at the global level for discussion and review at the GF-TADs fifth meeting in 2012; 3. The OIE considering adding PPR to the list of diseases for which official country status recognition can be obtained.

12 GSC 4 RECs (5) Rift Valley Fever (RVF) OIE Reference Labs and FAO Reference Centres 1. The RVF Study group intensifies its work on RVF epidemiology, possible further spread, preparedness on the ground, forecasting models and to encourage vaccine development (new vaccines available); 2. FAO, OIE and WHO to consider a seminar on RVF in 2013 to share recent developments and alert policy makers in RVF-free regions on recent geographic spread and the increased threat posed by RVF 1. The GF-TADs Task Force on Ref Centres and Labs to explore possibilities to align or share recognition procedures with the aim to move towards a unified list and harmonized procedures for managing relations and reporting requirements 2. The lists of FAO Reference Centres being published on FAO website

13 GSC 4 RECs (5) Rabies Priority Diseases 1. Rabies prevention and control to be a priority for the implementation of the One Health approach and demonstrate its credibility 2. To strengthen ongoing an develop new joint activities on global/regional campaigns for rabies control in dogs in accordance with the Incheon REC (Sept 2011)that rabies control in dogs should be promoted as a key strategy for controlling rabies in humans. 1. In addition to HPAI, identify FMD, rabies and PPR as the three priority diseases at the global level for the Global GF-TADs Action Plan, recognizing that this will require sustainable support to improve the efficiency of veterinary services and animal health systems

17 Where we are: Most of the TADs cut across regions and national boundaries, weakening the ability of the countries to deal with problems individually, which strengthens the case of closer and more effective consultation process, enhanced communication and exchange of information between the regional and the global levels.

18 The five year action plans set the benchmarks for concrete levels of progress in the progressive control of TADs, and outline expected results and performance indicators in all priority TADs work: management, coordination, and programming. In relation to management the majority of performance targets relate to results for which the RSC is primarily accountable.

19 On the coordination side, there are processes and initiatives that will require collaborative efforts with the Global Secretariat (GS), and the targets in those areas should be seen as purposeful. Fully recognizing the regional ownership of the control programs for their own priority TADs, the GS is committed to coordinating, monitoring and supporting the realization of regional objectives and intend to designate its coordination and programmatic work for to reflect that commitment.

20 Drawing on a broad range of consultations, interorganization evaluations, lessons learnt and recommendations, the GS is able to identify a number of crucial lessons that contribute to a better understanding of strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures. The integration of effectiveness drivers in the implementation of the multi-year action plan developed by each region, for example, may help reduce in part the number of relative dissimilarities between regional strategic plans.

21 The GS strategic plan is inextricably linked to the Regional Action Plans and to comprehensive result-based operational plans at the regional levels. The comparative advantage of the GS lies in its holistic, cross-sector approach to disease control and global networking.

22 Where we want to be GS and RSCs should be enabled to better communicate and be interlinked and mutually reinforcing in order to improve the quality, quantity and timeliness of activities with special emphasis on inputs in the agenda of regional meetings, rules for invitation of experts to regional and global meetings, financial rules, etc.; avoid duplicated efforts and fragmented outcomes, using new channels (GF TADs website) for information, dissemination, cultural aspects and common issues to be addressed.

23 A more incisive support by the GS to the RSC should be the basis of the GS Action Plan , as output of a consultative process including stakeholders. Global and Regional Secretariats should be interlinked because well formulated Regional control policies will not be as effective unless the process is beneficial to all regions.

24 More structured interaction with the RSC should be sought in at least the areas of: Data generation and analysis; Implementation of control or eradication measures, making utmost use of experiences done by other regions, including failures an successes; Qualitative (and quantitative) evaluation of the socio-economic impact of priority TADs in different geographical, cultural and production contexts.

25 i.e. Rabies in Africa Where we are poor reporting/data on rabies in humans and animals (domestic animals?); most samples submitted for testing are from biting dogs (human contact) only, not from livestock or wildlife; suspected dogs eliminated and not tested for Rabies.

26 Where we want to be: adoption of a rabies package that includes also surveillance in humans, dogs, livestock/working animals and wildlife, public awareness, dog population vaccination and management, animal bite protocols and the establishment of intersectoral rabies taskforces.
