Secretariat Report on Implementation of Various Decisions of the Council for Strengthening ISCTRC January 2011 Nairobi, Kenya

Abstract

The International Scientific Council for Trypanosomiasis Research and Control (ISCTRC) is a strategic partnership platform to promote international cooperation in the fight against trypanosomiasis, a disease that is one of Africa’s greatest constraints to socio-economic development and that severely affects human and livestock health, limits livestock productivity and land use, causes poverty and perpetuates underdevelopment on the continent. It is a statutory council of the African Union with the Secretariat based at AU-IBAR, Nairobi, Kenya. ISCTRC was established in 1949 and became an organ of OAU, now AU, in 1963.
