The CSA recalls that the JPC, at its second session, following its review of the Feasibility Study of the Senegal River Basin area entitled "Senegambia Project : Onchocerciasis Control in Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, l,la1i, Senegal and Sierra Leone", had asked the Prograrrne to prepare a Plan of Operations for implementing activities in this area. It notes that the Expert Advisory Conrnittee (EAC) recormnended an alternative strategy, emphasizing the need to focus, in the first instance, on those areas where onchocerciasis was hyperendemic and on those rivers which were sources of reinvasion of the present OCP area (Document JPC3.3). The CSA endorses the need for onchocerciasis control in the Western extension area. However, following informal consultations, and bearing in mind the prevailing financial situation, the CSA reconrnends that activities be implemented in the area on a scale that can be managed by the Prograrmne and at a pace concomitant with the availability of funds, in order to obtain the basic data which have been identified as missing by the proposed plan of operations. , Furthermore, the CSA recournends the JPC to dpprove this action and to request the Executing Agency to negotiate the appropriate agreements with the countries concerned WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION ocP82.3 ORGANISATION MONDIALE DE LA SANTE @ ORIGINAL: ENGLISH ONCHOCERCIASIS COMROL PROGRAMME PROPOSALS FOR A WXSTERN EXTENSION OF THE PROGRAI,II,IE rN MALI, cUlMA, GUINEA-BTSSAU SENEGAL AND SIERRA LEONE ocP 82.3 Page 2 CONIENTS Page SI]MMARY 5 PART I INIRODUCTION TO ONCHOCERCIASIS IN TIIE PROPOSED OCP WESTERN EXTENSION AREA AND TIIE BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR ITS CONIROL: Chapter I.

In addition iE was agreed that any such control activity in that region should be implemented as an extension of Ehe OCP and not as a seParate and multi-disease project. Accordingly the OCP was charged with appraising and studying the original feasibility report, with collecting additional information from the region, and with the preparation of a revised plau of operations. lnvestigations conducted during 1982 both in the existing OCP area and in the proposed tr'Jestern Extension area brought to light information which was either not available at the time of the original feasibility survey or was not fully apparent at that time, but which is now considered of such importance that a completely different approach to onchocerciasis control in the Western Extension area has to be adopted. This new informaEion relates primarily to an incomplete picture of vect.or distribution, to the insecticide resistance problem in the Ivory Coast, to infrastructural and logistic constraints in the extension zone, and to topographical and climatic constraints in the southern part of the extension zone. Although the vector species of the VJestern Extension area are the same as those in the OCP, precise information is not yet available on the distribution of all the species. Similarly the vectorial capacity of at least some species has not yet been fully assessed. However, what is kno\^m with some certainEy is that S. soubrense is widely distributed in the upper basin of the River Niger and that the zone of distribution is contiguous with infestations in the OCP which are now double resistant to the larvicides temephos and chlorphoxim. Thus until such time that Ehe present resistance problem is satisfactorily resolved, an extension of vector control operations into the upper Niger basin would involve unjustifiabl-e risks and could have serious repercussions. With regard to infrastructural and logistic constraints the main problems relate to the inadequacy of road networks in many technically critical parts of the extension area, and, to the generally poor condition of many existing roads. Because of the higher rainfall in the southern part of the area (annual means of 15OO-280O rprn compared to 7OO-1500 mm in the north) road conditions are generally poorer in the southern subregion than in the northern subregion, especially during the r^7et season. The implication of these situations is that even if vector control was technically justified in the southern subregion there would be many logisEic problems and it would not be possible to conduct entomological evaluations on a sufficiently large scale to meet OCP requirements.

    69972 Options for Preparing a Sustainable Land Management (SLM) Program in Mali Consistent with TerrAfrica for World Bank Engagement at the Country Level Introduction Public Disclosure Authorized 1. Background and rationale: 1. One of the most environmentally vulnerable areas of the world is the drylands of sub-Saharan Africa, particularly the Sahel, the Horn of Africa and Southeast Africa. Mali, as with other dryland areas in this category, suffers from droughts approximately every 30 years. These droughts triple the number of people exposed to severe water scarcity at least once in every generation, leading to major food and health crisis. In general, dryland populations lag far behind the rest of the world in human well-being and development indicators. Similarly, the average infant mortality rate for dryland developing countries exceeds that for non-dryland countries by 23% or more. The human causes of degradation1 and desertification2 include direct factors such as land use (agricultural expansion in marginal areas, deforestation, overgrazing) and indirect factors (policy failures, population pressure, land tenure). The biophysical impacts of dessertification are regional and global climate change, impairment of carbon sequestation capacity, dust storms, siltation into rivers, downstream flooding, erosion gullies and dune formation. The social impacts are devestating- increasing poverty, decreased agricultural and silvicultural production and sometimes Public Disclosure Authorized malnutrition and/or death. 2. There are clear links between land degradation and poverty. Poverty is both a cause and an effect of land degradation. Poverty drives populations to exploit their environment unsustainably because of limited resources, poorly defined property rights and limited access to credit, which prevents them from investing resources into environmental management.

Chaos from the insurgency created a power tlement in the South, with minimal activity in the North; this is vacuum in the North, facilitating growing control by Islamic militants (“Africa: Mali — consistent with relevant research and presents the divide be- The World Factbook” 2019).

C C. 20520 An Introductory Note on Draft Environmental Profiles: The attached draft environmental report has been prepared under a contract between the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID), Office of Forestry, Environment, and Natural Resources (ST/FNR) and the U.S. Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Program. It is a preliminary review of information available in the United States on the status of the environment and the natural resources of the identified country and is one of a series of similar studies on countries which receive U.S. bilateral assistance. This report is the first step in a process to develop better information for the AID Mission, for host country officials, and others on the environmental situation in specific countries and begins to identify the most critical areas of concern. A more comprehensive study may be undertaken in each country by Regional Bureaus and/or AID Missions. These would involve local scientists in a more detailed examination of the actual situations as well as a better definition of issues, problems and priorities. Such "Phase II" studies would provide substance for the Agency's Country Development Strategy Statements as well as justifications for program initiatives in the areas of environment and natural resources.
