The OIE PVS Tool
The OIE PVS Tool is the basis for evaluating performance of Veterinary Services against the international standards published in the Terrestrial Code
3/Item8
Objective of the PVS Tool
The OIE PVS Tool is designed to:
assist VS to establish their current level of performance
identify gaps and weaknesses in their ability to comply with OIE international standards
form a shared vision with stakeholders (including the private sector)
establish priorities and carry out strategic initiatives.
4/Item8
1. Basis: Terrestrial Code
2. OIE ad hoc Group on the Evaluation of Veterinary Services
Experienced PVS experts;
Developed critical competencies, indicators and sources of verification;
Based on Code provisions;
Report to the Terrestrial Animal Health Standards Commission (“Code Commission”).
Review and update the tool if necessary
Development of the PVS Tool
5/Item8
Terrestrial Animal Health Code
SECTION 3. Quality of Veterinary Services
• Provides the Quality Standards for Veterinary Services and the Standards to evaluate them.
All other chapters in the Code, Volumes I and II
• Provide the standards for animal health and welfare measures and other standards and recommendations referred in the PVS Tool
The PVS Tool is based on the Code

Self-evaluation
To assess a country’s own Veterinary Service performance;
Performed by internal experts with possible input by OIE experts.
Bilateral negotiations
An evaluation of the exporting country’s Veterinary Service to assist negotiations between trading countries;
Undertaken by mutual agreement.
Independent evaluation
Provides a strong legitimization of a request for national and/or international financing;
Performed using OIE experts.

What is evaluated using the PVS Tool ?
9/Item8
Are those found in the Terrestrial Code
Veterinary Services:
means the governmental and non-governmental organisations that implement animal health and welfare measures and other standards and recommendations in the Terrestrial Code and the OIE Aquatic Animal Health Code in the territory.
The Veterinary Services are under the overall control and direction of the Veterinary Authority.
Private sector organisations, veterinarians, veterinary paraprofessionals or aquatic animal health professionals are normally accredited or approved by the Veterinary Authority to deliver the delegated functions.

Fundamental Components
Effective VS / AAHS have four fundamental components:
the human, physical and financial resources to attract resources and retain professionals with technical and leadership skills;
the technical authority and capability to address current and new issues including prevention and control of biological disasters based on scientific principles;
the sustained interaction with stakeholders in order to stay on course and carry out relevant joint programmes and services; and
the ability to access markets through compliance with existing standards and the implementation of new disciplines such as the harmonisation of standards, equivalence and zoning.

16/Item8
I.7 Physical resources
The access of the VS to relevant physical resources including buildings, transport, telecommunications, cold chain, and other relevant equipment (e.g. computers).
Definition
A specific competence of the VS necessary for the country to comply with OIE standards
Example: :
17/Item8
Level of advancement 5 - Full compliance with OIE Standards
Levels of AdvancementLevels of Advancement
Progressive and complementary information related to the compliance with OIE standards.
5 levels of advancement (qualitative) for each critical competency
A higher level assumes compliance with all preceding levels
Level of advancement 4
Level of advancement 3
Level of advancement 2
Level of advancement 1No compliance
18/Item8
1. The VS have no or unsuitable physical resources at almost all levels and maintenance of existing infrastructures is poor or non-existent
2. The VS have suitable physical resources at national (central) level and at some regional levels, and maintenance and replacement of obsolete items occurs only occasionally
3. The VS have suitable physical resources at national, regional and some local levels and maintenance and replacement of obsolete items occurs only occasionally
4. The VS have suitable physical resources at all levels and these are regularly maintained
5. The VS have suitable physical resources at all levels (national, sub-national and local levels) and these are regularly maintained and updated as more advanced and sophisticated items become available
Example: Levels of Advancement
I-7 Physical resourcesThe access of the VS to relevant physical resources including buildings, transport, telecommunications, cold chain, and other relevant equipment (e.g. computers).
19/Item8
Indicators
Possible sources of information to identify the level of advancement
each critical competency counts with a proposed list of indicators for each Level of advancement
The list proposed is INDICATIVE and not EXAUSTIVE or mandatory
The experts should always seek for the most appropriate references for each case
