dc.description.abstractThe overall objective of FITCA Tanzania is to improve the general standard of living for people dwelling in tsetse infested areas. The project purpose is to support existing control activities already being undertaken by populations living in tsetse infested areas in Tanga and Kagera Region, utilizing low cost, effective and environmentally benign techniques. The project supports the development of affordable, manageable and effective tsetse and trypanosomosis control methods that can be applied by the communities. Disease control is put in the wider perspective of rural development and poverty alleviation of communities living in tsetse infested areas. The project duration is 36 months but for administrative reasons the initial contract period is 23 month. The Tanga Component's activities cover two of Tanga Region's six districts that are affected by Tsetse flies, namely Handeni and Pangani. The project area and target group are far from homogeneous, with predominantly small-scale dairy farmers in the coastal plains and mountainous areas of the Pangani, Muheza and Tanga District and pastoralists in the more arid areas of Handeni District. The options for tsetse / trypanosomosis control vary between the districts, and will be evaluated together with the communities for technical and socio-economical appropriateness
