Socio-economic vulnerability analysis is one of the tools to measure the socio-economic aspects of conflict and establish a more effective and coordinated approach to preventing violent conflict. Exploring vulnerability more in-depth could shed light on the internal processes that determine, in medium- to long-term scenarios, social and political crises and their links to negative outcomes in terms of well-being. This paper aims to support efforts to equip practitioners with a more comprehensive toolbos to help prevent and reduce the incidence of violent conflict.

Long-term tsetse and trypanosomiasis management options in West Africa 2004

Tsetse-transmitted animal trypanosomiasis is a complex disease that directly and indirectly has an impact on Africa’s crop and livestock agricultural development. In this paper, state-of-the-art spatial tools are applied to study the variety of agro- ecological settings in West Africa with a view to providing decision support to the management of the tsetse and trypanosomiasis ( T& problem according to the prevailing agro- ecological conditions. Based on the analytical mapping of dominant lives tock systems, land- use patterns, integration of livestock and crop agriculture ( mixed farming) and geoclimatic factors affecting tsetse ecology ( northern dry band with fragmented tsetse populations and southern humid band where tsetse are widespread), priority areas for T& T intervention were identified. These areas are situated the northern band of the tsetse belt where: • tsetse populations are fragmented ( and therefore vulnerable) or confined only to suitable vegetation along main river courses; • fly reinvasion risk is minimal due to land pressure and adverse climatic conditions for tsetse; and • integration of crop and livestock agriculture prevails. In these areas, the elimination of the fly and the disease may be achievable and consolidated through the expansion and intensification of mixed farming, leading to maximal yield benefits when expressed in terms of sustainable agriculture and rural development.
