ProjectStrengthening Capacity towards Rabies Elimination in Asia - TCP/RAS/3708 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Rabies is a major global public health issue, which is currently endemic in more than 150 countries in the world. Although it is a preventable disease, it kills an estimated 59 000 persons each year. In Asia, dogs are the main mediators of rabies, and traction animals and people are particularly susceptible to canine-mediated infestation. Most human and animal rabies occur in rural and impoverished areas, where there is a continued lack of awareness, or access to rabies vaccines. In this context, rabies epidemics in agricultural areas have significant impacts on livestock production and food security. The rabies situation in Bangladesh is considered endemic, and the dog population is estimated at 1.6 million. Between 1996 and 2017, a total of 366 village-level outbreaks in animals were reported in Bhutan, mainly in the southern region close to the border with India. In Nepal, authorities are also concerned with the epidemiology and impact of the zoonotic disease; however, limited in-country research is currently conducted. In addition, dog-mediated rabies incidences are the vast majority in Sri Lanka, with 20 to 30 induced human deaths annually. -
Book (series)Cluster evaluation of two projects contributing to the second phase of the FAO programme ″Supporting the Implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests“
Project codes: GCP/GLO/347/MUL and GCP/INT/328/UK
2023Also available in:
No results found.The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) have been promoted by FAO through several initiatives at global, regional and national level. The projects assessed achieved significant results in the areas of awareness raising and capacity development, policy dialogue, influence, and, to a lesser extent, legal and policy reform processes. At regional level and continental level, the VGGT were integrated in several instruments, linking local and national tenure agendas with relevant broader frameworks. At global level, FAO continued to influence global dialogue, particularly through the development and distribution of VGGT technical materials as public goods. The evaluation emphasized the need to invest in political economy analysis and to strengthen integration with other actors. Increased attention could be paid to identify ways to increase linkages between capacity development and multisectoral dialogue on the one hand, and decision-making processes on the other.
