OIE MANDATE
Historical: ‘To prevent animal diseases from spreading around the world’
The 4th Strategic Plan 2006/2010 extends the OIE’s global mandate to:
‘‘The improvement of animal health all around the world’
ANIMAL HEALTH INFORMATION
OIE OBJECTIVES
to ensure transparency in the global animal disease and zoonosis situation
to collect, analyse and disseminatescientific veterinary information
INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
OIE OBJECTIVES
to promulgate health standards for the safety of international trade in animals and animal products (within its WTO mandate) and animal disease surveillance
to contribute to food safety and food security
and to promote animal welfare, through a science-based approach
ACTIVITIES OF VETERINARY SERVICES
OIE OBJECTIVES
to provide expertise and encourage international solidarity in the control of animal diseases
to improve the legal framework and resourcesof national Veterinary Services
PVS concept linked with these objectives
Adopted by consensus of OIE Members

VeterinaryVeterinary ServicesServices
What is the OIE-PVS Tool?An assessment tool on level of compliance with OIE international standards on Quality and Evaluation of Veterinary Services
Chapter 3.1.: Veterinary Services
Chapter 3.2.: Evaluation of VS
Self evaluation performed by internal and/or OIE expertsfor the purpose of assessing the performance of VS…process reviewed on a regular basis to monitor improvements
Use of the OIE-PVS Tool
An evaluation relevant to bilateral negotiations between trading countries:… performed at the request of either country…best done by mutual agreement
Use of the OIE-PVS Tool
An independent objective evaluation that provides a strong legitimization of a request for national and/or international financing
Major donors have accepted the use of the OIE PVS Tool and the criteria in the Code in the evaluation of performance and priorities of VS, as a prerequisite and a key guide in helping countries make requests for investment
Use of the OIE-PVS Tool
“First diagnostic” of conformity of VS with OIE standards on Quality, which allows:
Gap identification (legitimacy of the request and leverage effect):
..national use for self improvement;
..external use for financial support;
..use for credibility in international trade.
Output of OIE-PVS Evaluation:
Legal Basis (OIE Code)
from Article 3.2.1.
The purpose of evaluation may be– to assist a national authority in the decision-
making process regarding priorities for its own VS (self-evaluation)…
– to assist the process of risk analysis in international trade … to which official sanitary and/or zoosanitary controls apply.
Legal Basis (OIE Code)from Article 3.1.3.
“Members should recognise the right of another Member to undertake, or request it to undertake, an evaluation of its VS where the initiating Member is an actual or prospective importer or exporter of commodities, and where the evaluation is to be a component of a risk analysis process which is to be used to determine sanitary measures to be applied to trade.”
OIE Code: Reference to OIE PVS-Tool:
from Article 3.1.5.• Evaluation facilitated by OIE experts under the auspices
of the OIE• …procedures for the evaluation of VS upon request by
Members,• International Committee endorses a list of approved
experts…,• Experts facilitate the evaluation of VS of Members based
on the provisions in Chapter 3.2., using the OIE Tool forthe Evaluation of Performance of Veterinary Services (OIE PVS Tool).

Critical competency II-1Veterinary Laboratory DiagnosisDefinition:‘The authority and capability of the VS to identify and record pathogenic agents, including those relevant for public health, that can adversely affect animals and animal products’.
OIE PVS TOOL
II. 1 Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosis
Level1.
Disease diagnosis is
almost always conducted by clinical means
only,with
laboratory diagnostic capability
being generally
unavailable.
2.For major
zoonoses and diseases of
national economic
importance, the VS have access
to and use a laboratory to
obtain a correct diagnosis.
3.For other zoonoses
and diseases present in
the country, the VS have access to and use a
laboratory to obtain a correct
diagnosis.
4.For diseases of
zoonotic or economic
importance not present in the country, but
known to exist in the region and/ or that could enter the country, the
VS have access to and use a
laboratory to obtain a correct
diagnosis.
5.In the case of new
and emerging diseases in the region or world,
the VS have access to and use
a network of national or
international reference
laboratories (e.g. an OIE Reference
Laboratory) to obtain a correct
diagnosis.
External independent evaluationUpon request of the country– according to its context
To assess– Compliance with OIE Standards– Strengths / Weaknesses– Gaps / areas for improvement
Not an audit
OIE PVS APPROACH
Experts trained and certified by the OIEAssessment based on facts & evidence, not impressionsDonors have accepted the use of the OIE PVS Tool in the evaluation of the performance of VSA prerequisite and a guide in helping countries request national and/or international financial support needed to make improvements

GAP ANALYSIS
“Gap Analysis of PVS Outcomes: Evaluation of Needs and Priorities”
Using OIE-PVS Evaluation results…OIE-PVS Evaluation = “1st Diagnostic” (qualitative):
Compliance with OIE StandardsStrengths / WeaknessesGaps / areas for improvement
Next step of the process, “Treatment”: Gap Analysis: Evaluation of Needs and Priorities(quantitative assessment of corresponding needs)
Preparation of strengthening investment programmes
Gap Analysis of PVS Outcomes: Evaluation of Needs and Priorities
PVS Gap Analysis: baseline for the investment programs
Investment programmes: prepared in collaboration with OIE partners (FAO) and donors
Need of additional expertise: economists, project managers, etc.
Deep involvement of countries concerned: priority setting process (national factors and conditions)
Focus on specific FC or CCShifting from level “x” to “x +1” or to “x +
2”….
Gap Analysis of PVS Outcomes: Evaluation of Needs and Priorities
To identify specific activities, tasks and resources required to address “gaps” (from PVS evaluation)
To determine priorities (country involvement)
Estimation of costs (collaboration from partners and donors)
Preparation of investment programmes (involvement of country and commitment from donors)
Gap Analysis MissionsUpon request of countriesTeam composed by OIE-PVS Experts + partners +
donors + local teamDesk review of PVS report + o identify specific
activities, tasks and resources required to address “gaps” (from PVS evaluation)
