Synopsis (short abstract) This regional TCP covered Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam. Its main objective was to assist the countries to prepare for a post-avian influenza rehabilitation programme; although – with our present understanding – the challenge has changed to prepare a strategy for poultry production that is not post, but with Avian Influenza in the short to medium term, at least. The project became operational in April 2004. The main activities undertaken by the project were socio-e conomic impact studies in the countries to identify the effect on the poultry producers, especially those most affected and vulnerable and to describe the major poultry production systems as well as to formulate recommendations for both short-term recovery and longer-term rehabilitation. The purpose of this summary is to produce a cross country synthesis of the data and information generated by the project. These include – apart from the socio-economic impact studies - the outcomes o f national workshops in which the studies were presented and discussed and the proceedings of a final Regional Workshop. Some relevant literature was studied.

    African animal trypanosomiasis affects the entire economy of livestock-agricultural production in vast zones of tsetse-infested areas. The presence of the diasease influences where people decide to live and the management of their livestock. Trypanosomiasis has, therefore, cultural and socio-economic implications on teh day-to-day life of the rural comunities of affected areas. In the past, cultural and socio-economic factors were not duly considered and incorporated as integral parts of a tsets e and trypanosomiasis (T&T) intervention programme. Nowadays, planners, policy-and-decision makers have realized that the research and control of T&T need to embrace the understanding the socio-economic and cultural impacts of of the disease.
