| dc.description | The 3rd meeting of the GCC-FMD was organized virtually under the umbrella of the GF-TADs, by its FMD Working Group (WG), on 25 January 2023. The purpose of the 3rd meeting was to review recommendations developed around the four thematic areas, namely (i) regional governance, (ii) public private partnership, (iii) advocacy, and (iv) technical issues (diagnostic, epidemiology, vaccines and vaccination resources) and endorse an action plan. The importance of the GCC-FMD was emphasized in bringing together recognized stakeholders in FMD control from all endemic regions, to share information, lessons learnt, and good practices. Challenges to achieve FMD control are across the regions and include access to quality vaccines matched with circulating FMD strains, surveillance to properly monitor the risks, and the assessment of the impact of control strategies. Strengthening capacities within endemic countries is central, as well as using those capacities to develop evidence that can be used for political advocacy and funding support. The need to align and promote FMD control with other TAD strategies and the GF-TADs Strategy was stressed. Finally, the need for effective Public-Private partnerships was recognized. The proposed action plan of the GCC consists of six main blocks, namely (i) strengthening of regional governance mechanisms; (ii) promotion of the creation of a network of public-private associations; (iii) ensuring effective advocacy for FMD control at the national and regional levels; (iv) facilitating knowledge and access to laboratory diagnostic tools; (v) facilitating knowledge and access to epidemiological tools; (vi) promotion of the use of quality vaccines. | |
