The theme of the Conference was “Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Research and Control for Sustainable Agricultural and Rural Development: Promoting Partnership and Learning Agenda in the Context of African Renaissance”. The 38th ISCTRC Executive Committee meeting was held at Friendship Hall, Khartoum Sudan, on 7th September 2013. In attendance were the nine (9) regional representatives of the ISCTRC Executive Committee and the Institutional members, AU-IBAR, AU PATTEC, FAO, IAEA, PAAT and WHO.

A post-mortem meeting of the Committee held after the closing ceremony observed that the meeting had been of high standards but also identified some key areas that need consideration for future meetings. The meeting agreed that the 33rd ISCTRC Conference be held in either Central Africa or North Africa regions. The meeting agreed to hold a joint 33rd ISCTRC General Conference back to back with cerebrations of 15 years of PATTEC in 2015.

The theme of the Conference was ‘Refocusing Research and Control of Tsetse and Trypanosomiais: A Development Agenda’. The Conference was officially opened by the Prime Minister and Head of Government, Her Excellency Mme Cisse Mariam Kaidama Sidibe. The opening Ceremony was also graced by the Minister of Livestock and Fisheries, Hon Dr. Bokary Treta, Representative of the World Health Organisation in Mali, Madame Diallo Faoumata Binta Tidiane, Director of AU-PANVAC, Dr. Karim Tounkara, representing the Commissioner for Rural Economy and Agriculture, African Union Commission, Madame Rhoda Peace Tumusiime, Director of AU-IBAR, Prof. Ahmed Elsawalhy among other dignitaries. In her speech, the Prime Minister urged scientists to bring research to the doorstep of the rural poor who bear the scourge of tsetse and trypanosomiasis. The Director of AU IBAR, Dr Ahmed El-Sawalhy, complemented the call of the Prime Minister, by reiterating the commitment of AU-IBAR to removing the tsetse and trypanosomiasis burden from the African Continent. 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.

The threat that tsetse and trypanosomiasis (T&T) pose was recognized at the turn of the 20th century by the African Heads of State and Governments when, at their meeting in Lome in 2000, drew attention to the seriousness of the T&T problem as one of Africa’s greatest constraints to socio-economic development, that severely affects human and livestock health, limits land use, cause poverty and perpetuates underdevelopment on the continent.

The prevention, control and eradication of the diseases is achieved through specific networks, platforms and projects within the framework of the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Programme. Trypanosomiasis severely affects human and livestock health, limits land use thus causing poverty and perpetuating underdevelopment on the continent. The impact of the disease extends over 36 countries and an estimated 10 million sq. km (a third of the continent) of land area. The International Scientific Council for Trypanosomiasis Research and Control (ISCTRC) was established in the 60s on the realization that the removal of tsetse and trypanosomiasis required an international organization that would serve as a vehicle of cooperation and implementation across national, regional and continental barriers. ISCTRC is a statutory council of the African Union with the secretariat at AU-IBAR and is managed by an Executive Committee. It has continued to act as a platform for knowledge sharing and information dissemination on trypanosomiasis research and control.
