BookletWhite paper: Build back better in a post-COVID-19 world – Reducing future wildlife-borne spillover of disease to humans
Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme
2020Also available in:
This white paper aims to provide Northern and Southern Development partners and decision-makers with a better understanding of a) why spillover of disease from wildlife to humans occurs, and why these zoonotic disease outbreaks can spread and become epidemics and pandemics such as COVID-19, and b) what they can do to prevent, detect and respond to future spillover events, with a special focus on priority interventions at the human-wildlife-livestock interfaces. It has been produced as part of the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme, which will deliver critical lessons on how to prevent, detect and respond to future spillover events with appropriate national and transboundary policies and practices in the context of the SWM partner sites. The SWM Programme is a major international initiative to improve the conservation and sustainable use of wildlife in the forest, savannah, and wetland ecosystems. Field projects are being implemented in 13 African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries. The aim is to: improve how wildlife hunting is regulated; increase the supply of sustainably produced meat products and farmed fish; strengthen the management capacities of indigenous and rural communities; and reduce demand for wild meat, particularly in towns and cities. It is being implemented by a dynamic consortium of four partners with expertise in wildlife conservation and food security: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD) and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).

DocumentEnvironmental Animal Health to Redress Emerging Insect-borne and Other Disease Constraints to Smallholders’ Livestock Production
External Evaluation Final Report FAO Project GCP/PHI/050/ITA. “The Environmental Animal Health Management Initiative (EAHMI)”
2008Also available in:
No results found.This report presents the findings of the external evaluation of FAO project GCP/PHI/050/ITA, titled Environmental Animal Health to Redress Emerging Insectborne and Other Disease Constraints to Smallholders’ Livestock Production. The project is widely known as the ‘Environmental Animal Health Initiative’ (EAHMI). The project started in September 2005 with a planned duration of three years. However, recruitment of key project team members delayed the actual start of implementation giving the proje ct an effective life of nearer two years at the time of the external evaluation mission’s field work in April, 2008. The end date (NTE) of the project is 31-Aug-08. Thus, the evaluation took place towards the end of the project.
