Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) and Foot and mouth disease (FMD) are two major transboundary animal diseases for which global strategies were developed and endorsed by the international community in 2015 and 2012, respectively. The specific objective of the global FMD control strategy is to improve FMD control in regions where the disease is still endemic, thereby protecting the advanced animal disease control status in other regions of the world. The goal of the PPR global strategy is to eradicate PPR by 2030. These two Strategies require a globally concerted effort to support both national and regional actions to control and subsequently eradicate the diseases.
