ProjectFactsheetDeveloping National Implementation Capacities for the Control of Tsetse and Animal African Trypanosomosis in Ethiopia - TCP/ETH/3702 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Livestock is an extremely important sector in Ethiopia. As a source of food, income and draft power, animal rearing provides livelihoods for 80 percent of the country’s rural population. The sector makes up about 20 percent of national gross domestic product (GDP) and 45 percent of the agricultural GDP. Despite its importance, the sector faces problems, and disease is one of the most significant. African Animal Trypanosomosis (AAT), which is transmitted by the tsetse fly, causes significant losses in the sector, both directly by contributing to animal deaths and low levels of production, and indirectly by reducing areas of cultivable land, which leads to land use imbalances, natural resource exploitation, and low levels of growth and diversification of crop-livestock production systems. For these reasons, AAT is a major threat to livelihoods and food security. In 2012, the Government of Ethiopia developed a national strategy for the control and eradication of tsetse and trypanosomosis (T&T), with the ultimate aim of enhancing mixed crop-livestock production systems to support both domestic and export demands for agricultural products. This, in turn, would contribute to food security and poverty reduction in the country. -

Also available in:
No results found.Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis is a lethal parasitic disease of humans and livestock. The disease severely limits mixed livestock–crop agriculture in over 10 million km2 of highly productive land in sub-Saharan Africa. Direct and indirect losses due to trypanosomosis are estimated in billions of dollars every year. The disease is often neglected by both endemic countries and donors as it mostly affects poor and vulnerable small-holders in rural areas. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureA staged, progressive control pathway for tsetse-transmitted African animal trypanosomosis 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Progressive Control Pathways (PCPs) are stepwise approaches for the reduction, elimination and eradication of human and animal diseases. They provide systematic frameworks for planning and evaluating interventions. Here we outline a PCP for tsetse-transmitted animal trypanosomosis, the scourge of poor livestock keepers in tropical Africa. Initial PCP stages focus on the establishment of national coordination structures, engagement of stakeholders, development of technical capacities, data collec tion and management, and pilot field interventions. The intermediate stage aims at a sustainable and economically profitable reduction of disease burden, while higher stages target elimination. The mixed-record of success and failure in past efforts against AAT makes the development of this PCP a high priority.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2020
Sustainability in action
2020The 2020 edition of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture has a particular focus on sustainability. This reflects a number of specific considerations. First, 2020 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (the Code). Second, several Sustainable Development Goal indicators mature in 2020. Third, FAO hosted the International Symposium on Fisheries Sustainability in late 2019, and fourth, 2020 sees the finalization of specific FAO guidelines on sustainable aquaculture growth, and on social sustainability along value chains. While Part 1 retains the format of previous editions, the structure of the rest of the publication has been revised. Part 2 opens with a special section marking the twenty fifth anniversary of the Code. It also focuses on issues coming to the fore, in particular, those related to Sustainable Development Goal 14 and its indicators for which FAO is the “custodian” agency. In addition, Part 2 covers various aspects of fisheries and aquaculture sustainability. The topics discussed range widely, from data and information systems to ocean pollution, product legality, user rights and climate change adaptation. Part 3 now forms the final part of the publication, covering projections and emerging issues such as new technologies and aquaculture biosecurity. It concludes by outlining steps towards a new vision for capture fisheries. The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date information to a wide audience – policymakers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed everyone interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
