Synopsis (short abstract) This regional strategic programme framework, entitled “Cassava diseases in central, eastern and southern Africaâ€Â (CaCESA), has been prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It aims to assist countries aff ected by cassava pests and diseases. These are signifi cantly aff ecting groups such as internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees and the vulnerable whose food security is threatened. CaCESA is designed to assist vulnerable farm families in selected districts of 15 countries1 in central, eastern and southern Africa. These countries are categorized in two groups: (i) countries already aff ected by the Ugandan variant of eastern Africa cassava mosaic virus (EACMV-Ug) and cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) diseases and where some mitigation activities are ongoing (Burundi, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda); and (ii) countries threatened by the spread and progress of cassava diseas es (Angola, Central African Republic, Gabon, Malawi, Mozambique, Sudan, Zambia and Zimbabwe).

The IFIP project started in January 1989 with the main objective of promoting a more effective and rational exploitation of the fisheries resources of major water bodies of Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. The project is executed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), and funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for a duration of four years. There are eleven countries and three Intergovernmental organisations participating in the project: Bu rundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire, Zimbabwe, The Communauté Economique des Pays des Grands Lacs (CEPGL), The Preferential Trade Area for Eastern and Southern African States (PTA) and the Southern African Development Commnity (SADC). The immediate objectives of the project are: (i) to strengthen regional collaboration for the rational development and management of inland fisheries, particularly with respect to shared water bodies; (ii) to provide advisory services and assist Governments in sectoral and project planning; (iii) to strengthen technical capabilities through training; and (iv) to establish a regional information base.
