Le déclin des pêcheries de capture traditionnellement fiables et l’augmentation de la demande en matière
de poissons aux Seychelles représente une préoccupation d’envergure en termes d’économie et de sécurité
alimentaire. En 2007/08, le gouvernement des Seychelles a décidé d’évaluer le potentiel de l’aquaculture et
d’établir un cadre de travail qui permettrait au secteur de se développer de manière durable, tout en traitant
simultanément les questions relatives à l’avenir de la disponibilité de poissons.
Mission Report on Editing and Publishing Reports on the Pan-African Programme for the Control of EpizooticsProf Adrien BelemLily Adukehttp://repository.au-ibar.org/handle/123456789/3842021-03-09T04:26:17Z2007-01-01T00:00:00ZMission Report on Editing and Publishing Reports on the Pan-African Programme for the Control of Epizootics
Prof Adrien Belem; Lily Aduke
A short term consultancy has been contracted by the German Technical
Cooperation/International Service (GTZ/IS) — SATEC Developpement International and the
African Union — Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU/IBAR) with the main objective
to compile, edit and publish the main documents, reports and lessons learnt from the Pan
African Programme for the Control of Epizootics (PACE) Programme Initially, this work was
supposed to build upon the outcome of an earlier consultancy on PACE documentation.
However, constraint of time has led to a concomitant execution of the two missions. Planned,
initially, for 20 days, the mission of editing and publishing the reports on PACE has been
conducted for 27 days, at the PACE Coordination Unit in Nairobi.

The Somali PACE Component operates under the overall PACE objective aiming at improving
farmers' incomes and peoples' general living conditions by strengthening livestock services and
hence improve and maintain animal health security.
The three International Non Governmental Organisations Terra Nuova, UNA and VSF-Swiss,
together with the CAPE Unit of OAU/IBAR are the implementers of the Somali PACE Project.
Expatriate staff from these partners are coordinating and supervising field activities in co-operation
with Somali veterinary professional staff at national as well as at zonal level.
As from January 2002, EC allowed organizations to operate inside Somalia following the ban
imposed as a result of the September 11thevents.
PACE began its field-based activities from January 2002 with Somaliland, Puntland and Central
Somalia bases becoming functional during the quarter.
Somali PACE Project's Somali Coordination and Implementation Unit (SCIU) embarked on
finalizing the recruitment of expatriate and Somali staff for the 4 zonal bases.
In all zones, Somali national staff held sensitisation meetings with local authorities and veterinary
professionals whereby a broad concept of the PACE project was explained and the groundwork
prepared for the stakeholder workshops to be carried out in all 4 zones. All 4 stakeholder workshops
were carried out with the launching of PACE in Somalia.
In addition, the Central Zonal Livestock Professional Association CERELPA was inaugurated in
Jowhar. The 4thzone, Southern Somalia, did not fully start as the 4th expatriate zonal veterinary
advisor had been delayed due to visa problems to enter Kenya although some activities related to
community based animal health services were carried out by the CAPE unit and a local veterinary
association TRANSJULPA was formed by livestock professionals from Gedo, Lower and Middle
Juba regions.
As Somali PACE project operates in 4 zones, this report is presented by giving an overall summary of
activities followed by section reports from each individual zone. Only the stakeholder workshops
carried out in the 4 zones is presented as a joint report (see 4.1).

When Rinderpest was introduced to Africa in the late 19th Century, the pandemic killed up to
90% of cattle and other susceptible wildlife species. The disease has plagued the African
continent since then due to the presence of large numbers of domestic and wild animals, the
inadequacy of veterinary services, nomadic husbandry practices and insecurity. Concerted
action to eradicate the disease, commencing with the "Joint Project 15", implemented by the
Organization of African Unity/ Interafrican Bureau for Animal Resources (OAU/IBAR) in
the 1960s and 1970s followed by the Pan African Rinderpest Campaign (PARC) in the mid
1980s and the Pan African Control of Epizootics (PACE) in the late 1990s, succeeded in
eradicating Rinderpest from most of Africa with the exception of the so called mild strain of
the virus in the "Somali Eco-system", an area of land that encompass South East Ethiopia,
North East Kenya and Southern Somalia.
The PACE Programme, which is in its final phase (November 1999 to February 2007) was
conceptualized to build on the headway made by the Pan African Rinderpest Eradication
Programme (PARC) (1986 to 1999) in the campaign against Rinderpest. The PARC has lasted
from 1986 to 1999 and has been co-financed by the European Community (EC). PARC has been
a follow up of the Joint project 15 (JP15) (1962 to 1976) also aimed at fighting the Rinderpest in
Africa. All these actions have already done a great deal to improve health security by combating
Rinderpest, one of the most devastating contagious diseases of cattle.
Taking advantage of PARC's achievements, a fundamental objective of PACE was to continue
the establishment of effective surveillance systems for animal diseases in 30 countries involved
in the programme. Such surveillance is essential for an effective veterinary service in any
country as is indicated by the requirement for adequate disease reporting (OIE, 2002). Thus
without effective surveillance for important animal diseases, particularly those that affect trade
in livestock and livestock products, human health or the economics of animal production, a
veterinary service will not be considered reliable. Increasingly, the World Organization of
Animal Health (OIE) provided a mechanism whereby member countries may apply for
recognition of freedom from specific diseases, such as Rinderpest, foot and mouth disease
(FMD), contagious bovine pleuro-pneumonia (CBPP) and bovine spongiform encephalopathy
(BSE). In order to apply successfully it is necessary for the country concerned to demonstrate,
irrespective of the requirement for individual diseases, that it has an effective veterinary service
which, as already indicated, includes an effective surveillance system. Consequently, all
applications for freedom from disease need to be supported by surveillance data. For this
reason, in the context of globalisation the establishment of surveillance system has become a
priority for veterinary services in countries, which would like to take part in the international
trade of livestock and animal by-products.
In particular, Rinderpest eradication is a global objective and the African Union / Inter African
Bureau for Animal Resources (AU / IBAR), through the Pan African Programme for the Control
of Epizootics (PACE) has been for 7 years spearheading its eradication in the African continent.

The PACE programme is funded by the European Development Fund in 32 Sub_ Saharan
African countries for a period of four years. It is co-ordinated by the Inter African Bureau for
Animal Resources of the Organisation of African unity (AU-IBAR).
The PACE programme funded in the framework of the Financing Agreement No
6125/REG/5007/005 was signed on 30 August 1999 between the Organisation of African
Unity (AU) and the European Union.
The PACE Programme will build on the achievements of the Pan African Rinderpest Campaign
(PARC), with the ultimate objective to finally eradicate rinderpest and to set up a Pan-African
network for the control of epizootics. The livestock sub sector is given high importance in Eritrea. Animal production is nearly the
only activity for the pastoral minority and is an important source of cash for_agro-pastoralists.
Objectives are to promote livestock production so as to increase the supply of animal proteins,
encourage small and large scale processing of livestock products, and to augment the supply of
draught power. Nearly 2,000,000 people are involved in this activity. Livestock contributes to
23% to the Gross Domestic Product (FAO 1993). Livestock is estimated to represent a share
of 750 Million Nakfa.
Livestock husbandry is still conducted according to traditional systems and the productivity
remains low. However, intensive husbandry systems are emerging particularly in urban and
peri-urban areas.

The animal health work was launched as PARC Phase I and II Somalia project without a
government in situ that was recognized. Operations under PARC were concentrating in
rinderpest control in southern parts of Somalia and in Kenyan districts bordering to
Somalia. The idea is to integrate PACE Somalia programme into Somali organs of
authority, which are evolving.

The PACE strategy provides a framework within which national programmes will be
developed and linked to sub-regional and regional strategies for the surveillance and
control of the major epizootic diseases. The activities of national components will vary
according to the individual situations in each countly but they will always be included in the
Prog=zues four thrusts with 17-04 co—non
- Building up the institutional capacity of national animal health systems.
- Encouraging national capacities for planning, implementation, monitoring and
evaluation of interventions.
The PACE Programme's thrusts are common to the 32 countries and are the basis for all
actions. Within and across the regional groups of countries there are common themes and
national PACE programmes will address national priorities within the regional requirements
identified by PACE.
This first volume (Volume 1) presents the consolidated work programme and cost estimate for
ten national PACE programmes, namely: Burundi, Congo, Cote D'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Guinea,
Kenya, Senegal, Sudan, Tanzania and The Gambia.
The specific objectives of the programmes are:
• To stengthen national and regional capabilities to assess the technical and economic
aspects of animal diseases, and to generate appropriate programmes for their control;
• To safeguard animal health in Africa against major epizootic diseases.
There are four expected results:
• In each participating country animal epidemiology services (information, diagnostics
and follow-up) and services for the control of major diseases will be reinforced;
• Greater privatisation of veterinary services and public/private-sector linkage in the field;
• Rinderpest will be eradicated from Africa and there will be greater control of other
epizootics, in particular contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP);
• A sustainable system will be set up at Pan-African level to coordinate animal health
systems and the fight against epizootic diseases.
The national PACE programmes which will be implemented in 32 countries, have four thrusts;
that accord with the four expected results indicated above. These national programmes will, in
addition, address national priorities within the regional requirements identified by PACE. The
activities planned by the eleven countries in the current consolidated work plans are outlined
below as they related to each thrust.
The PACE strategy provides a framework within which national programmes will be developed
and linked to sub-regional and regional strategies for the surveillance and control of the major
epizootic diseases.

African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources; AU-IBAR
The team of consultants should mention that after meeting with the main financial controller of the
PACE programme, Mr. Alex Saelert, they have been signified that the financial data obtained are not
final since the programme is to be continue up to the 28 February 2007. He has also made clear that
the final report of the PACE financial data can be considered as his duty and will be done later.
Consequently, in this report, it will only be reported data up to 21 November 2006 with very slight
analyses.
Overall, steady progress has been achieved on the financial execution of the programme since the last
Advisory Committee meeting in Bamako, October 2006. Additional commitments have been mobilised
for some of the member countries and to finance additional regional component activities (i.e. a service
contract for VSF to continue assistance on epidemio-surveillance in South Sudan).
