Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureProgressive Control Pathway (PCP) for African Animal Trypanosomosis (AAT) 2017
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. -
Book (series)GuidelineThe progressive control pathway for African animal trypanosomosis – Operational guidelines 2025
Also available in:
No results found.African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) is a wasting and often fatal disease that continues to place a huge burden on livestock keepers. AAT also hinders mixed crop–livestock agriculture and affects public health by constituting a source of infection to humans. The progressive control pathway (PCP) is an evidence-based, stepwise approach first developed for foot-and-mouth disease and subsequently adopted for several other diseases. In 2017, FAO and partners adapted the PCP to AAT and published it as an opinion paper in a scientific journal. Since then, the PCP-AAT has been promoted through projects, workshops and trainings. Important achievements include the establishment of robust information systems (i.e. "atlases") and the development of national strategies and roadmaps. However, the lack of clear operational guidelines has often slowed down the mainstreaming of the approach into national and regional policies. The present publication aims to fill this gap, by providing a reference for the operationalization of the PCP-AAT from the subnational to the regional level. The guidelines identify five pillars that cut across all stages of the PCP, i.e. (i) AAT diagnosis and vector detection, (ii) surveillance, (iii) prevention and control, (iv) veterinary systems capacity and enabling environment, and (v) stakeholders’ engagement. For each of these pillars, specific outcomes and typical activities are proposed for each PCP stage. Finally, indications are given on the development of PCP implementation roadmaps. For the development of these guidelines, FAO gathered input from a range of experts and stakeholders, including endemic countries, research institutions, international organizations, resource partners and the private sector. -
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.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of the World’s Forests 2022
Forest pathways for green recovery and building inclusive, resilient and sustainable economies
2022Against the backdrop of the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use and the pledge of 140 countries to eliminate forest loss by 2030 and to support restoration and sustainable forestry, the 2022 edition of The State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) explores the potential of three forest pathways for achieving green recovery and tackling multidimensional planetary crises, including climate change and biodiversity loss. The three interrelated pathways are halting deforestation and maintaining forests; restoring degraded lands and expanding agroforestry; and sustainably using forests and building green value chains. The balanced, simultaneous pursuit of these pathways can generate sustainable economic and social benefits for countries and their rural communities, help sustainably meet increasing global demand for materials, and address environmental challenges. The State of the World’s Forests 2022 presents evidence on the feasibility and value of these pathways and outlines initial steps that could be taken to further pursue them. There is no time to lose – action is needed now to keep the global temperature increase below 1.5 °C, reduce the risk of future pandemics, ensure food security and nutrition for all, eliminate poverty, conserve the planet’s biodiversity and offer young people hope of a better world and a better future for all. -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuide sur la situation d’un organisme nuisible
Comprendre les principales exigences pour la détermination de la situation phytosanitaire d’un organisme nuisible
2024Ce guide décrit les étapes que les organisations nationales de protection des végétaux (ONPV) doivent suivre pour déterminer le statut d’un organisme nuisible dans une zone, en commençant par identifier l’organisme nuisible et la zone considérée. Il fournit des conseils sur la collecte et l’évaluation des informations, sur l’évaluation des sources d’incertitude et sur la manière d’utiliser les signalements d’organismes nuisibles et d’autres informations pertinentes pour déterminer si un organisme nuisible est présent ou absent dans la zone et ensuite pour sélectionner la catégorie relative à la situation phytosanitaire d’un organisme nuisible appropriée, comme décrit dans la NIMP 8 (Détermination de la situation d’un organisme nuisible). Cela inclut des conseils pour déterminer si l’on s’attend à ce qu’un organisme nuisible s’établisse dans une zone, et s’il est largement disséminé ou faisant l’objet d’une lutte officielle. Le guide décrit les responsabilités des ONPV lors de la détermination de la situation des organismes nuisibles sur leur territoire, les exigences de la législation nationale pour soutenir les actions relatives au statut des organismes nuisibles et comment la détermination de la situation des organismes nuisibles s’inscrit dans le cadre phytosanitaire international. Il décrit également comment les résultats de la détermination de la situation phytosanitaire peuvent être utilisés pour soutenir d’autres activités clés, telles que la préparation de listes d’organismes nuisibles réglementés, l’établissement de rapports sur les organismes nuisibles et l’obtention ou le maintien de l’accès au marché. Enfin, le guide fournit un certain nombre d’études de cas du monde entier qui mettent en évidence différents aspects du processus de détermination de la situation phytosanitaire et la façon dont les ONPV traitent des questions particulières. En permettant une meilleure compréhension du processus et des facteurs à prendre en compte lors de la détermination de la situation phytosanitaire, le guide vise à améliorer la cohérence des processus utilisés par les ONPV pour déterminer la situation phytosanitaire. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
