ProjectFactsheetBuilding Capacity on Pest Prevention and Control, and Ability to Respond to Outbreaks of Major Pests in Nigeria - MTF/NIR/074/BMG 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Crop production is one of the largest global food industries and is highly vulnerable to climactic shifts. This seriously threatens agricultural productivity, especially in developing regions like Africa. The changes in temperature and other climatic factors are accelerating the prevalence and distribution of insect pests, enabling their survival during overwintering, increasing the number of their generations, and facilitating invasive outbreaks. In Nigeria, these challenges pose a dual threat, namely significant crop losses, which disrupt economies, and food insecurity, which affects millions of livelihoods. This project sought to address these critical challenges by identifying gaps in Nigeria’s current pest early warning systems (EWS), and using lessons from globally effective systems to design a functional and place-based system for the country. -
ProjectFactsheetImproving Global, Regional and National Capacities for Field Veterinary Epidemiology and Surveillance Networks - GCP/GLO/892/USA 2024
Also available in:
With veterinary epidemiology capacities around the world lacking, there is high demand for a well-trained global veterinary workforce. Training veterinarians and animal health professionals in field veterinary epidemiology will better equip them to monitor livestock diseases, including zoonotic diseases. As a result, surveillance can be conducted efficiently and outbreaks identified and analysed more rapidly, allowing countries to prevent and respond to outbreaks in a more effective and timely manner using a One Health approach. The present project, the second phase of a project implemented between 2014 and 2018, aimed to continue to build field veterinary epidemiology capacity through training sessions on field epidemiology for veterinarians, participatory epidemiology/disease surveillance (PE/PDS) and risk assessment, as well as to support sustainable networks through the development of disease information platforms for sharing of epidemiological information. -
