2. The Progressive Control
Pathway for FMD
(PCP-FMD)

3. the FAO-OIE Global Strategy
The OIE Performance of the Veterinary Services
(PVS) Pathway will be the major tool of
Component 2 “Strengthening Veterinary
Services” to structure and plan the activities and
assess progress.

4. The OIE PVS Pathway
It is a continuous process aiming to
sustainably improve the compliance of Veterinary
Services with international standards

10. Linking the OIE PVS and
FMD PCP Tools
The basic principle is that a country embarking on
the PCP-FMD should acquire the appropriate
capacity and capability of the VS to conduct
activities aimed at the control or elimination of
FMD (and other TADs). This is referred to as the
‘enabling environment’ in the PCP.
Fundamental to progressively develop the
Veterinary Service as the country moves up
through the FMD-PCP stages and official
recognition by the OIE of national control
programmes and free status

11. 33 OIE PVS Critical Competencies (CCs)
among 46 are of particular relevance to the
prevention and control of FMD:
 Animal Health (4 / 5)
 Veterinary Public Health (1 / 4)
 Laboratory (2 / 2)
 Trade (4 / 8)
 General Management (17 / 31)
 Resources (5 / 6)

12. Linking the PCP-FMD stages to the
OIE PVS levels of Critical Competencies
Table I. Selection of FMD related PVS CCs

13. A correspondence table has been worked out
between the PCP Stages and the compliance level
required for each of the PVS Critical competencies
(CCs) relevant to FMD control
 FMD PCP Stage 1: PVS level 3 required for 7
CCs
 FMD PCP Stage 2: PVS level 3 required for 17
CCs
 FMD PCP Stage 3 (request for official OIE
endorsed FMD national control programme):
PVS Level 3 for all 33 CCs
 FMD PCP Stage 4 (transition towards OIE-free
status with or without vaccination): PVS level
3 for all 33 CCs
