Description

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 within 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 paper has tried to cover the main methodological issues involved in the economic assessment of area-wide T&T control programmes, with particular reference to West Africa. - from Amzon
