International
Action Planning Workshop on Taenia solium Cysticercosis/Taeniosis
with Special Focus on Eastern & Southern Africa
K. Darwin Murrell (Guest Editor)
A Regional Action Plan for Combatting Taenia solium Cysticercosis/Taeniosis
in the Eastern & Southern Africa Region (RAP) was formulated by multidisciplinary
group of scientists, government authorities, health and veterinary officials,
community leaders and delegates from international and regional support agencies
at the "International Action Planning Workshop for Taenia solium cysticercosis/Taeniosis
with Special focus on the Eastern & Southern Africa Region" held in Arusha,
Tanzania, 19 - 22 August, 2002. The overall objective of convening the workshop
was to increase cysticercosis awareness and improve human health, smallholder
pig production, the domestic food supply and export opportunities for pork in
Eastern & Southern Africa (ESA) and elsewhere by developing and implementing
an appropriate and sustainable surveillance, prevention and control programme
for Taenia solium cysticercosis. Delegates to the workshop, recognizing that
the cysticercosis problem transcends national borders, adopted a regional approach
to the situation in order to make more effective and efficient use of scarce
resources.
