    The Global Rinderpest Action Plan

    This course is part of a series on rinderpest, that aims to improve knowledge and capacities to suspect and rapidly identify and control an outbreak if re-emergence occurs. The course provides an overview of the Global Rinderpest Action Plan (GRAP) and the five stages of rinderpest emergency management – prepare, prevent, detect, respond, and recover.

    The course illustrates the GRAP’s framework, actions and responsibilities, at the national, regional, and international levels, thereby ensuring continued global freedom from rinderpest.
