 Programme for the control of African animal trypanosomiasis and related development
This paper is concerned with the role of the economist in the planning and appraisal of tsetse and trypanosomiasis control (TTC) operations and related research.
From the mid-1950's onwards African countries gained independence from previous colonial rule, leading to an era in which TTC operations were increasingly organised as aid projects funded by Western donor nations and multilateral organisations such as FAO, for whom detailed economic justification was to become prerequisite.
This study demonstrated that it is feasible, for organisations involved in the funding or implementation of tsetse and trypanosomiasis control operations, to address issues relating to land use using limited-resource studies: so-called rapid rural appraisal.
