    Technical Assistance to Mitigate the Impact of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Incursions in Zambia - TCP/ZAM/3802 2024

    The Zambian livestock sector makes an important contribution to poverty reduction, household food security, nutrition, economic growth and exports. Contributing approximately 42 percent of agriculture gross domestic product, livestock production utilizes the abundant natural resource base, forms the major household capital reserve, diversifies income, and provides draft power and manure to crop agriculture. Livestock sales provide cash for financing farm investments, crop inputs and household expenses, particularly in emergencies. Livestock products also contribute to household food security. However, the sector is constrained by several factors, including the prevalence of animal diseases. Zambia has in the past experienced sporadic outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in high-risk areas. In March 2018, an incursion of FMD virus (FMDV) serotype O occurred in Central Zambia and subsequently spread to the southern parts of the country, putting further pressure on the already constrained livestock sector and, in particular, affecting vulnerable individuals such as women and children. Although a disease of low mortality, FMD poses a major threat to the livelihoods of the rural poor, through loss of animal productivity and access to markets. The disease also impacts on the wider economy, influencing demand for goods and services, altering the supply and prices of livestock and livestock products, and preventing access to international markets. Finally, the FMD outbreak in Zambia had the potential to spread to neighbouring countries and the rest of Southern Africa, some of which enjoy lucrative beef markets in the developed world thanks to their strong FMD control policy.

    Monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) is key for fisheries management area (FMA) management, specifically to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and to ensure prevention and compliance. This policy brief was developed based on a MCS stocktaking activity in FMAs 573, 712, 713 and 714 of Indonesia. It scrutinized the four dimensions of MCS for the fisheries sector.
