Multi-country, multi-stage process
What will PPR GEP achieve?
Reinforcing veterinary capacities
Improving the diagnostic and surveillance systems
Vaccinate 1.5 billion animals
Functional governance at country, regional, global levels
2nd ECO PPR Roadmap Workshop - Dushanbe, 28 Feb. – 2 March 2017
PPR GEP Framework: 4 Components

PPR Vaccination and other preventive measures
Depending on the assessment and surveillance data, the vaccination
should be time-limited with high coverage aiming for 100 percent
vaccination coverage to achieve the necessary herd immunity in high-risk
areas.
Vaccination protocol: two year vaccination followed by vaccination of
young animals (4 months to one year in age) within one year or two.
Estimated number of animals to be vaccinated: 1.5 billion
Post Vaccination Evaluation (PVE).
