GREP

• The Global Rinderpest Eradication Programme (GREP) is a time-bound programme to eliminate rinderpest from the world by the year 2010. This programme is operated by the FAO. It forms part of EMPRES.
• Strategies have been devised and programmes implemented to reduce the clinical incidence of rinderpest to zero. Elimination of disease and infection will be confirmed by statistically valid active disease.
