Dear Colleagues,
 
It makes sense by socio-economic and other criteria to address preventable/eradicable small ruminant diseases in one basket. We should, however, appreciate the fact that different regions will have different small ruminant disease priorities, so the basket should be filled according to regional needs. Would following the same geographical demarcation as currently used for the 8 Regional Economic Communities [CEN-SAD, COMESA, EAC, ECCAS, ECOWAS, IGAD, SADC and UMA] be an appropriate approach for Africa? Although more aligned to market rather than agro-ecological zones the RECs will bring a ready-made administrative structure to represent the views of their respective member states and facilitate awareness raising / delivery of any given PPR-GREN programme.   Perhaps colleagues from other continents might suggest a similar regional approach?
 
Best wishes
 
Chris 
 
This is definitely an approach worth considering but isn't there quite a lot of geographical overlap between these 8 RECs?   Regional organizations such as AU-IBAR and AU-PANVAC might also be well  placed to provide co-ordination and direction here.  Moderator.
