Descripción
This regional strategic programme framework, entitled “Cassava diseases in central, eastern and southern Africaâ€Â (CaCESA), has been prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It aims to assist countries aff ected by cassava pests and diseases. These are signifi cantly aff ecting groups such as internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees and the vulnerable whose food security is threatened. CaCESA is designed to assist vulnerable farm families in selected districts of 15 countries1 in central, eastern and southern Africa. These countries are categorized in two groups: (i) countries already aff ected by the Ugandan variant of eastern Africa cassava mosaic virus (EACMV-Ug) and cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) diseases and where some mitigation activities are ongoing (Burundi, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda); and (ii) countries threatened by the spread and progress of cassava diseas es (Angola, Central African Republic, Gabon, Malawi, Mozambique, Sudan, Zambia and Zimbabwe).
