Resumen
Descripción
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) severely affects the productivity of livestock, disrupting regional and international trade in animals and animal products. Foot-and-mouth disease roadmap meetings are organized under the umbrella of the FAO/WOAH Global Framework for the Progressive Control of Transboundary Animal Diseases (GF-TADs), by its FMD Working Group, with technical support from the European Commission for the control of FMD (EuFMD). Participants include Chief Veterinary Officers (CVOs), WOAH Delegates and national laboratory and epidemiology focal points (experts) engaged in FMD control programmes, FAO regional and national representatives, OIE Regional and Sub-Regional representatives, representatives from regional bodies and from the WOAH/FAO Reference Laboratory Network for FMD.
The meeting report will contribute to the strategic objectives (SOs): SO2 – Make agriculture, forestry and fisheries more productive and sustainable and SO5 – Increase the resilience of livelihoods to threats and crisis. The work is also in line with FAO’s Animal Health Programme objectives including capacity building and informing the decisions of policymakers.
