Body

A situation analysis mission to evaluate the implementation of tsetse and trypanosomiasis control interventions comprising Dr. Gift Wiseman Wanda, Acting Coordinator of the Pan African Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis (T&T) Eradication Campaign (PATTEC), and Mr Girma Urgeacha, GIS database specialist was undertaken to Ghana from 30 July to 2 August 2019.

Ghana is one of the 38 countries affected by T&T on the African continent. It is estimated that Over 90% of the total land area of the country is infested with tsetse fly. Over the past decades, Ghana has implemented a number of national programmes aimed at reducing the burden of T&T with varying degrees of success. The most successful of these initiatives has been the implementation of the AfDB supported multinational project for the creation of tsetse free areas in west and east Africa which drew to a close in 2012.

The AU-Delegates had visited various institutions and stakeholders including staff of the tsetse and trypanosomosis control unit, Hon. Dr. Nurah Gyiele, State Minister of Food and Agriculture (MoFA), Dr. Joyce Dontwi, Ag. Director of Veterinary Services, MoFA; Ministry of Finance, representative of the CAADP Coordinator, WHO, and FAO (country representative and regional office). The M&E mission ended by a wrap-up meeting, chaired by Dr. Joyce Dontwi, on Friday 2 August 2019 during which the findings of the mission were discussed.
