    The presence of tsetse and trypanosomiasis (T&T) in vast areas of sub-Saharan Africa is a major constraint to livestock-agricultural development. However, the impact of the disease varies with and between countries, regions and agro-ecological zones. Therefore, prior to any intervention it is essential to evaluate the profitability of different approaches towards controlling the vector and/or the disease in each individual project or zone. This ensures that a project is assessed on its own merit s and not merely on its possible technical contribution to a potential continent-wide programme.

    Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis remains a major constraint to livestock and agricultural development in large tracts of sub-Saharan Africa. A wide range of methods to reduce the impact of the disease have been developed. However, the application of each of these methods has limitations, and no single technique is powerful enough to sustain freedom from disease across different agro-ecological conditions and farming systems.

    This document analyses best practices for the strategic planning of mixed agricultural development in areas affected by trypanosomosis in people and livestock. Along with the other papers in the Programme Against African Trypanosomosis (PAAT) series, this paper has been produced to fulfil PAAT’s remit to provide normative guidelines for dealing with tsetse and trypanosomosis (T&T).
