The SEACFMD 2020 Roadmap is about to commence phase 4 of a five-phase program towards freedom from FMD with vaccination in South-East Asia by 2020. The future development of the campaign needs to focus on strengthening animal health and veterinary services capacity within countries. This will require continuing investment in regional and bilateral coordination and support for disease prevention and control, education and training, workforce development, and program monitoring and evaluation. These areas of investment are considered part of STANDZ, a program being developed by OIE and AusAID. The potential success of STANDZ will be enhanced by complementary programs funded by the European Union and United States Agency for International Development (and potentially ACIAR), and managed by the OIE Sub-Regional Representation.
