| dc.description | The Conference observed that significant progress had been made in the area of Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis field interventions and that there was a general trend and desire by countries to operate within the framework of the Pan African Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Campaign (PATTEC). A major issue of concern was how to use research methods and tools for the collection of good quality baseline data for the planning of control/eradication programmes. The conference also noted that even though progress has been made in the implementation of the PATTEC projects there was not sufficient quantification of the benefits derived in transforming livelihoods. | en |
