PROJECT SUMMARIES

AGRICULTURE / FOOD SECURITY AND NUTRITION

Appealing Agency / FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO)
Project Title / Technical assistance to animal trypanosomiasis control in Côte d’Ivoire
Project Code / CIV-08/A01
Sector / Agriculture/Food Security
Objective / To reduce the incidence of animal trypanosomiasis on livestock in Northern, Western and Central Côte d’Ivoire
Beneficiaries / Vulnerable livestock owners in Northern, Western and Central Côte d’Ivoire
Implementing Partners / Ivorian Government, FAO
Project Duration / January-December 2008
Funds Requested / US$[1] 453,200

Needs

Animal trypanosomiasis represents a major constraint to livestock production in Africa. The disease is common within a zone of ten million square Km, including the whole of Côte d’Ivoire, with annual losses within the region as result of the disease reaching $500 million.

A trypanosomiasis control programme was implemented by Government services in Northern and Central Côte d’Ivoire between 1978 and 2001, with some success. However, the persistence of infestation rates of 50% coupled with high mortality outside the project action area indicated that risk levels remain high, and project implementation was hampered by the 2002 Ivorian political crisis. Information gathered during a contagious bovine peripneumonia (péripneumonie contagieuse bovine [PPCB]) vaccination campaign in August 2007 suggested that animal trypanosomiasis was responsible for 47% of mortalities registered on flocks. Limited availability of animal traction aggravates the nutritional deficit of vulnerable populations. The situation is particularly acute in the North of the country.

Activities

The aim of the project is to improve food safety for people affected by the political crisis in Côte d’Ivoire through the reduction of trypanosomiasis on livestock in Northern, Central and Western Côte d’Ivoire. Project’s objectives are also designed to update the information on fly populations and animal infestation to improve the health of livestock. All activities will be jointly implemented by FAO and the Ivorian Ministry of Animal Production and Fisheries, especially with the veterinary services.

Specifically, this project will:

·  Train craftsmen on the construction of glossina traps;

·  Build and distribute 10,000 traps in the project action zones;

·  Train livestock owners on trap maintenance and techniques to prevent trypanosomiasis;

·  Update accuracy of entomological and parasitical data and their effects on animal health.

Outcomes

A reduction in the incidence of animal trypanosomiasis on livestock in Northern, Western and Central Côte d’Ivoire, paving the way for an increase in animal herds and improved food security.

Needs

Despite the political progress achieved with the signing of the Ouagadougou Peace Agreement (OPA) signed in March 2007, food security still remains a risk in Côte d’Ivoire. Food insecurity affects 29% of rural households in ten regions, especially in the west of the country. In the cotton producing area in the northern part of the country, acute malnutrition amongst children under five exceeds 10%. In 2007, the rainy season started late resulting in a reduction in yields and poor harvests. Conversely, the heavy rainfalls induced flooding and significant damages to swamp cultures in the Northern, Western and Central Côte d’Ivoire.

In 2008, the challenge will be to focus on the identification and response to the needs of the vulnerable population. The available data is regularly shared and analysed within a Food Security and Nutrition Working Group (FSNWG) under the joint coordination of FAO and WFP. The objective of this group is two-fold: improve the relevancy and effectiveness of food security actions, and improve the capacity of stakeholders to perform food security analysis. The latter has been strengthened through the implementation of the Integrated Humanitarian and Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).

Activities

The project is aimed at improving the relevance and effectiveness of agricultural relief actions together with enhancing food security monitoring capacities. Specifically, this project will:

·  Support the collection of information on agriculture, food security and nutrition and ensure stakeholder coordination;

·  Work to enhance collaboration and create consensus among humanitarian actors based on the standards of the IPC;

·  Recommend those actions most likely to be effective in each situation.

Outcomes

·  Systematic and timely update on agricultural needs assessments;

·  Informed inter-stakeholder coordination to improve programme impact and activities in a volatile environment;

·  Improved complementarities between short-term agricultural aid, food assistance and other income transfers with longer-term poverty mitigation strategies optimising geographic and socio-economic actions.

Summary

Since June 2003 the country’s relative calm has allowed a substantial number of households to resume farming. However, the improvement of the security situation in the western region of the country has also led to the return of vulnerable IDPs with extremely fragile livelihoods which still need support with their production. According to the in-depth WFP/FAO evaluation on food security, a total of 29% of rural households are food insecure due to difficulties in accessing sufficient and diversified diet. To mitigate the impact of the ongoing crisis on vulnerable populations FAO and partners, have carried out two complementary actions:

·  Seeds and agricultural inputs distributions to 40,000 vulnerable households in the West and North of Côte d’Ivoire;

·  Seed multiplication programmes.

However, the second action is still limited and must be strengthened. Moreover, the expected return of thousands of households in 2008 is a major issue that still needs to be addressed in the western and northern parts of the country. This is coupled with a continued cotton crisis and the drop in the price of cashew nuts which have affected the two major sources of income. Climatic hazards and poor yields still jeopardise farmers’ livelihoods while national extension services are not fully operational to support affected households, with the result that access to quality seeds, tools and fertilisers is limited and sometimes impossible.

Activities

(Established by the FSNWG’s criteria to avoid gaps and overlaps of activities)

·  The identified beneficiaries will receive cereal (either upland or lowland rice or maize), vegetable and pulse (bean or groundnuts) seeds, together with tools and fertilisers;

·  Voucher distribution system where seed multiplication projects are available;

·  Agriculture training will be provided to beneficiaries.

Outcomes

·  Distributions and vegetable production activities in farmer groups assist in promoting social cohesion and integration of different communities;

·  Grain and vegetable production allows priority groups (HIV/AIDS-affected, female-headed households) to improve their nutritional diet and provide additional incomes.

Needs

In the former Zone of Confidence (ZoC) looting and lack of maintenance have depleted household assets such as livestock, farm equipment, small processing equipment, canoes and fishing gear, and stores. In the North, the cotton crisis and the fall of cashew nut prices continue to erode household incomes and increase household debt. The comprehensive food security assessment carried out in 2006 has highlighted that vulnerable households who purchased food on credit represent more than 20% of the rural population. Despite the improvement of the security situation, trade is still constrained by poor road conditions and numerous check points.

Vulnerable households are therefore facing major difficulties in acquiring the resources to make the initial investment to start income-generating activities. This situation has led to an increase in food insecurity and vulnerability within the affected population and diminished trading opportunities for rural households. In 2007, FAO with its partners has started to support livestock and food processing projects in the West and North Regions.

Activities

The project objective is to strengthen the livelihoods of vulnerable households especially IDPs and returnees by raising their income and diversifying the sources of revenues. Actions will be selected among the most commonly undertaken activities by the communities and upon specific request of the beneficiary. They will cover the initial investment needed for the resumption of income-generating activities. The selection of the submitted projects will be based on feasibility, sustainability, quick and significant financial outcomes.

Specifically the project will:

·  Improve activities, such as simple food processing, fish breeding, small animal husbandry (chicken, pork), blacksmithing, support to marketing;

·  Provide training on technical skills, financial and trade aspects;

·  Conduct small-scale infrastructure rehabilitation on drying platforms and storage facilities.

Outcomes

The action is expected to significantly stimulate food production and bolster food security of affected populations. Training on financial and trade matters will be provided to enhance the sustainability of the project. Key actions will forge close links with NGOs, women associations, local communities, WFP, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Livestock, Ministry of Trade and National Agency for Rural Development (Anader).
