Dear Moderator
 
The network could prove very useful in developing frameworks and guidelines for  the key areas of the disease necessary for progressive control. For example  at AU-IBAR we are implementing a regional project  in the Greater Horn of Africa where PPR is one of the target disease. The intervention aims to harmonize the work of the departments of veterinary services in the region  in their approach to the control of  PPR among other diseases. Technical teams from the region,  supported by regional and international organisations  are developing standardized Methods and Procedures that indicate among others the data/information requirements  for surveillance, epidemiology, laboratory procedures and disease response. The idea is to establish a region-wide baseline disease control plan so that implementation of PPR control program is harmonized, regionally coordinated, and communication among veterinary departments is improved.

Dear Dr Wabacha,
thank you for this useful summary of progress with PPR control in the Greater Horn.  It is good to hear that you believe the network, PPR-GREN,  could be very useful in developing frameworks etc, but how do you see the linkage working between the network and, in this case, AU-IBAR, or indeed any other regional programme?  
regards, Moderator.
