PVS Tool: Levels of advancement

Level 1 no compliance

Level 5 full compliance with

OIE standards

• 5 levels of advancement (qualitative) for each critical competency

• A higher level assumes compliance with all preceding levels

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

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)

Table I. Selection of FMD related PVS CCs

Linking the PCP-FMD stages to the OIE PVS levels of Critical Competencies

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

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
