Descripción
The document is part of a series of briefs developed by FAO to effectively mobilize support for and inform strategic investment on its One Health and animal health service offer for 2025–2030. These briefs aim to clearly communicate the value, scope, and urgency of investing in integrated health solutions that protect food systems, livelihoods, and global health security. Designed for decision-makers and partners, the documents provide a focused entry point for collaboration and co-financing discussions.The present document focuses on the progressive control of African animal trypanosomosis, a disease transmitted by tsetse flies that severely hinders agricultural production in sub-Saharan Africa. FAO actions against of African animal trypanosomosis hinge on disease intelligence and data for decision-making, as embodied by the “atlas” initiative, and on risk-based strategic planning through the “progressive control pathway” (PCP) approach. Impact on the field is achieved through broad and strong partnerships, with priority placed on public veterinary authorities, but also engaging livestock keepers and the private sector. In recent years, the progressive adoption of the atlas and PCP approaches by an increasing number of African countries and international stakeholders demonstrates the upscaling and sustainability potential of these FAO-led innovations, and their capacity to drive change.
