Component 2.4


Improved national and regional capacity for Management of FMD through developmentand evaluation of training programmes for national staff.

2.4.1: To have developed a wide range of PCP-FMD resources and training materials in various modes (e-learning, training of trainers, face to face, webinars) and languages for countries in Pillar II.

2.4.2: To have established a method of monitoring and evaluation of PCP-FMD training materials and resources to safeguard the uptake and appropriateness by the intended target audiences (beneficiaries).

2.4.3: Fit for purpose training courses and resources are available for wider use by neighbourhood countries which are largely appropriate and adaptable to the needs of the global community (Pillar III update/ GF-TADs)

Pillar II Training Needs Assessment

Based on Pillar I Training Needs Assessment however expanded to capacities related to control through PCP-FMD.• Considered multiple personnel groups

(farmers to decision makers)• Considered PCP Stage, referred to PVS

assessment, considered importance given to FMD control vs other diseases

• Considered language and technology competencies

• However, only consulted one focal point per country, follow up discussions therefore important.


Returned by 19 pillar II countries



12/19 countries ranked FMD their highest priority infectious animal disease. Commonly identified major challenges in FMD control:

Lack of control of animal

markets/animal movements/animal

identification Lack of resources/vaccines/

diagnostic kitsLow capacity of

veterinary services particularly

epidemiology and risk analysis

Poor control of FMD and/or political

instability in neighbouring countries

Low biosecurity and awareness famers/

field veterinary staff



Commonly identified major challenges in FMD control

Has any FMD related training been carried out or will be made available to you in the near future from other providers (NOT EuFMD)?



Commonly identified major challenges in FMD control

Does your national veterinary service organise FMD related training for government veterinarians, private veterinary practioners or farmers and private stakeholders?



10 lowest rated competencies

Mean competency rating all countries (rank 0-4)





Do countries’ identified priorities align with the those of EuFMD?

Semi-quantitative process used to allow each Component Manager to rate how well a country’s identified priorities aligned with the objectives of the EuFMD work programme in order to identify final priorities for training development.

Training priorities 2015-17


Farmer disease recognition, reporting, biosecurity, prevention

Support to in-country training, job aids, cascade training

Regional/field veterinary services, biosecurity, disease sampling, reporting, investigation

Endemic country oriented version of online FMD Emergency Preparation Course (FIT-C)

Apply the Progressive Control Pathway and write a Risk Based Strategic Plan

Introduction to the Progressive Control Pathway under final testing. Support to RBSP through PCP Practitioners’ Network. Existing webinar series support.

Apply basic biostatistics and epidemiology to disease surveillance and control

Repurpose existing introductory e-learning as short open access modules to be used prior to workshops etc(translation)

Exploring academic partnerships


• Delivery of regionally tailored, local language online courses (Online FMD Investigation Training)

• Development of job aids and training materials for regional cascade training

• Support development of regional network of universities for delivery of continuing professional development.

Approaches made to Jordan University of Science and Technology and InstitutAgronomique et Vétérinaire Hassan II, Rabat, Morocco. Initial positive response further follow up needed.

Introduction to the Progressive Control Pathway


• Pilot course in August to test and improve e-learning material with global colleagues known to EuFMD

• Review by FMD-WG to start this week

• Open access course to be made available to co-incide with Open Session

• Interlinked with PCP Practitioners’ network (Pillar III)







Priorities for next 6 months


• Ongoing feedback and liason with country training focal points (appropriate courses and candidates

• Roll-out of PCP e-learning, endemic country FIT-C e-learning, short biostatistics and epidemiology modules

• Continue to explore academic partnerships

• Development of additional training (especially socio-economics and risk analysis along the value chain)

• Monitoring and evaluation of training

• Interlinking with activities under component 3.4
