Situational analysis and resource mapping of Rural Transport Services Project localities. Part 1.

Author: 
Kennenni, L.

Within the main research frame work and objectives, the main purpose of the situational analysis and resource mapping for study areas is to avail the background information and facilities relevant to rural transport services. Background information for major variables were compiled, different types of resources were surveyed and mapped for all study areas.

Mapping of poverty and likely zoonoses hotspots. Zoonoses Project 4. Report to Department for International Development, UK.

Author: 
ILRI

The objective of this report is to present data and expert knowledge on poverty and zoonoses hotspots to inform prioritisation of study areas on the transmission of
disease in emerging livestock systems in the developing world, where prevention of
zoonotic disease might bring greatest benefit to poor people.

Mapping the Likelihood of Introduction and Spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus H5N1 in Africa, Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya and Nigeria using Multicriteria Decision Modelling

Author: 
Stevens, K.B.; Costard, S.; M??tras, R.; Pfeiffer, D.U.

The objective of this study was to describe the spatial variation in the likelihood of (i) introduction and (ii) spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) subtype H5N1 on a continental scale in Africa. This report describes the methods used to produce likelihood maps illustrating the likelihood of introduction and subsequent spread of HPAIV H5N1 at both the continental and country level (Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Ghana; targeted countries of the DfID project), and highlights limitations associated with the maps.
