Map indicating the different PCP stages of countries in southern and eastern Africa.

Notes: The results are based on self-assessment and aspirations from the member states, with the goal to make progress on the PCP for FMD.²⁰⁸^–²¹⁰ The FMD PCP consists of six stages ranging from zero (0), when there is continuous FMD virus circulation with no reporting or control actions, to five (5), where a country is ready to be officially recognized by the OIE as free without vaccination. Currently, the OIE recognizes only three categories for countries with regard to FMD: 1) countries not free from FMD (PCP stages 0–3), 2) FMD-free countries or zones practicing vaccination (PCP stage 4), and 3) FMD-free countries or zones where vaccination is not practiced (PCP stage 5).
