ASF issues – Mombasa Meeting
ASF Issues highlighted during the Mombasa meeting:
g
g g g g
At institutional level:• Lack of common/harmonized regional animal• Lack of common/harmonized regional animal health policies and disease control strategies,
• Lack of animal health information sharing within the region,
• Weak preparedness, contingency and recovery plans that includes compensation, and otherplans that includes compensation, and other Standard Operating Procedures.
ASF issues – Mombasa Meeting At technical level:
I d i f i l d i l
g
• Inadequacies of national and regional epidemiological units capacities
• Lack of data for descriptive and analytical analysis (pig distribution, trade patterns, environment (p g , p ,data; socio economic impact of the disease and control measures)control measures)
• Weakness in sample collection, applied diagnostic d il bl h dprocedures, available human resources and
equipment capacities,• Absence of an ASF regional support laboratory constrain control efforts.
ASF recommendations – Mombasa Meeting Eastern Africa ASF working to be set up to address ASF i

ASF Regional Control StrategySTRATEGIC APROACH
g gy
Three founding principles:
Knowledge‐based: Controlling ASF should be based on the best available epidemiological and socio‐economicthe best available epidemiological and socio economic knowledge, experiences and on optimal preparedness to reduce prevalence and prevent further spread ofto reduce prevalence and prevent further spread of ASF recognizing that eradication may not be possible in the current African contextthe current African context.
ASF Regional Control StrategySTRATEGIC APROACH (2)
g gy
Area‐specific: Responding to ASF entails a) addressing country‐specific and sector‐specific epidemiological scenarios and technical options for its prevention and control; b) developing regional and national capacities to monitor the scenarios, implement and maintain these technical options; c) providing sustainable, technically sound and socially equitable support against ASF
ASF Regional Control StrategySTRATEGIC APROACH (3)
g gy
Holistic approach: Considering that the predominant pig production system predisposes rapid transmission and spread of the disease, the strategy promotes gradual transformation of the less bio‐secure small‐scale scavenging production system into more bio‐secure small‐scale semi‐intensive production system. The strategy promotes also biosecurity in the semi‐intensive and intensive production systems.
