international market, but also provides precious livestock by-products suchas hides, skins, casings, bones, blood, tallow etc. to many downstreamindustries in the country. While in case of export of live animals, the localmarket remains deprived of these valuable by-products. Resultantly, the exportof meat, meat products and livestock by-products rose to US$ 243.221 Millionin 2016-17 from US$ 214.5 million in 2012-13, as compared to a meagerUS$ 20 million earned from the export of live animals in 2012-13.

18

place at the provincial and divisional levels to oversee and provide support to theprogramme activities implemented at district level by District Polio EradicationCommittees under Deputy Commissioners.

Since early 2015, the Government of Pakistan established a dynamicnetwork of Emergency Operations Centres (EOC) at each provincial headquarterand FATA providing joint coordination platform to all stakeholders including differentGovernment departments as well as the national and international partners. Thesenational efforts being undertaken by almost 250,000 valiant frontline workersnationally are efficiently supported by Law Enforcement Agencies and ArmedForces. The data driven programme implementation being vigilantly monitored atall levels by the programme staff as well as independent third party led to aturnaround in Polio situation in the country as evident from below:

i. Two out of the three types of polio virus (2&3) have been halted.

ii. Number of Polio cases have steadily declined from highs of 306 in2014, to 54 in 2015, 20 in 2016 and only 8 in 2017.

iii. No Polio case has so far been reported in 2018

Closest ever to the goal of virus interruption, we need to continue our effortsat the same pace throughout 2018 aiming to vaccinate every child in special campaignsas well as through routine immunization. The personal leadership and support of therespected members of this august forum will be imperative in their constituencies;especially during the planned monthly campaigns from now till May 2018.
