Journal, magazine, bulletinAnnual reportEmergency Management Centre for Animal Health Annual Report
November 2018–October 2019
2019Also available in:
No results found.The past 12 months have seen a rapid increase in African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks around the world. A hardy disease with up to 100 percent mortality rate in pigs and wild boar, ASF has wreaked havoc across many countries, impacting trade, food security and livelihoods. The Emergency Management Centre for Animal Health (EMC-AH), a joint platform linking the Food and Agricultures Organization of the United Nations (FAO)’s Animal Health and Emergency and Resilience divisions, has concentrated much of its activities this year on the disease. The numbers speak for themselves, following multiple requests for assistance from countries in Asia, six out of ten EMC-AH missions focused on ASF this year. This report is a compilation of EMC-AH’s work this year, from missions in Africa and Asia to assist governments in preparing for an animal health emergency, and indeed extending those preparedness efforts through the delivery of eight workshops in Good Emergency Management Practices (GEMP), to implementing five donor-funded global projects and continuously providing animal health emergency support to countries via its four activated Incident Coordination Groups. The report serves to showcase the Centre’s efforts, and the results of those efforts, and demonstrates its commitment to transparency and accountability. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRural migration in sub-Saharan Africa: patterns, drivers and relation to structural transformation
Rural employment working paper
2019Also available in:
No results found.Sub-Saharan Africa has a long history of internal and international migratory movements. Migration patterns and dynamics from, to and between rural areas are profoundly differentiated across regions, and flows have considerably evolved over time. Yet, more recently, rural migration takes place in the unique situation of a major rural and urban demographic increase, which results in critical socio-economic and environmental challenges. In this context, intertwined migration drivers emerge and call for a better understanding of on-going dynamics. This working paper draws on a combination of literature review and data analysis, building on the results of the Atlas "Rural Africa in motion. Dynamics and drivers of migration South of the Sahara". This mixed approach is used to propose a conceptual framework based on past, current and future drivers of migration, then to examine observed patterns of rural migration and finally to discuss drivers’ characteristics and dynamics from case studies and existing datasets. -
