The meeting held in Almaty, Kazakhstan was the 6th Regional Roadmap for the Foot-and-Mouth Disease Progressive Control Pathway, (FMD-PCP) in West Eurasia . Since 2008, evidence has been built on how FMD virus can easily spread from countries closer to South Asia (namely Afghanistan and Pakistan) to Iran and Turkey. Since 2012, some changes have occurred and several of those countries are now lacking international support in continuing their efforts to combat FMD as some of the international projects that supported activities have come to an end. There is a need to assess where countries are in their PCP-FMD stages progress and stimulate formulation and implementation of harmonized national and regional programmes and activities.
