2. Why this component
• Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) is a highly
contagious viral disease of sheep and goats
• Global annual economic costs estimated at US$
1.5-2billion
• Approx. 65% of the world’s 2billion sheep and
goats are at risk; affecting livelihoods of 300
million poor people
• PPR global eradication programme (2030)
3. Distribution and spread of PPR 2000-2014. The countries reporting outbreaks in the periods
1998-2000 and 2008-2010. Source: Official country reports to the World Organization for
Animal Health (OIE).
1998-2000 2008-2010
PPR has been spreading
2014
4. • PPR first reported in Uganda in 2007 leading to
mortality of 0.5 million sheep and goats valued at
US$15 million
• A drop in milk production of 2.1 million liters in
small ruminants.
• Severe impact on livelihoods-food security
• By 2016 most of the country was infected
• Uganda has developed a draft national PPR control
and eradication strategy
• This project aims to support the national PPR
control and eradication strategy
Significance in Uganda
5. What we want to achieve
• Develop a socio-economic framework to assess
the impact of PPR interventions
• Update the epidemiological status of PPR to
allow assessment of control options
• Assess capacity development gaps in the
implementation of the PPR control and
eradication strategy
6. Who will benefit
• Women and men small ruminant livestock
producers
• Private animal health service providers
• Students
• Training institutions
• Government of Uganda
• Livestock traders, butchers and meat vendors
7. What we will do
Develop a socio-economic framework to assess the impact of PPR interventions ->
Livelihoods impacts of different PPR control options
• Household survey in different livestock production systems; Longitudinal study-sentinel
households; System dynamic modeling; Focus group discussions
Update the epidemiological status of PPR to allow assessment of control options - >
Updated risk map of PPR, circulating PPR genotypes, other important small
ruminant diseases
• Cross-sectional survey in different livestock productions systems; Post vaccination sampling
• Genetic characterization of PPRV isolates; Participatory disease search; Slaughter house
surveillance; Develop PPR risk maps
Develop capacities -> Novel models of animal health delivery, strengthened
surveillance system, capacity enhanced
• Support review of National PPR control strategy; Review of animal health services;
Multistakeholder platform for AH service delivery to discuss gaps and define new
mechanisms for control and surveillance; Strengthen passive surveillance system;
Awareness creation of farmers; Post vaccination sampling
