  • Endemic Malaria in Four Villages in Attapeu Province, Lao Pdr
    ENDEMIC MALARIA IN LAO VILLAGES ENDEMIC MALARIA IN FOUR VILLAGES IN ATTAPEU PROVINCE, LAO PDR R Phetsouvanh1, I Vythilingam2, B Sivadong1, S Lokman Hakim2, ST Chan2 and S Phompida1 1Center for Malaria, Parasitology and Entomology, Vientiane, Lao PDR; 2Institute for Medical Research, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract. A study was conducted in four villages in Attapeu Province, Lao PDR in 2002 to determine malaria endemicity. The study villages were Mixay, Beng Phoukham, Phou Vong and Pier Geo. Mass blood surveys were conducted in May, August, and October. Finger prick blood was collected for thick and thin blood film as well as for dipstick. The slide positivity rate was highest in Phou Hom in October (41.7%). Plasmodium falciparum was the dominant species comprising more than 80% of the cases. As a whole, the distribution of malaria was similar among males and females. Children below 15 years accounted for a large percentage of the cases. The sensitivity of the optimal dipstick was 62.36 and the specificity was 61.7. Microscopy was taken as the gold standard. Anopheles dirus was found to be the main vector and the vectorial capacity correlated well with the cases. INTRODUCTION entomological and blood examination 3 times during the year.

  • Listening to Women Fishers on the Sekong River: Fostering Resilience in Village Fishery Co-Management
    Listening to Women Fishers on the Sekong River: Fostering Resilience in Village Fishery Co-Management Charlotte Moser Abstract The accelerated economic development of landlocked Laos, combined with extreme climate variables, points to dramatic transformations in subsistence fisheries on its rivers. In the country’s first Fisheries Law, adopted in 2009, co-management of village fisheries is required as a way to promote sustainable development at a local level. The co-management model, however, does not stipulate participation by women fishers, important stakeholders who make up almost one-half of all Lao fishers and whose work contributes directly to family nutrition and well-being. Based on fieldwork conducted in fishing villages on the Sekong River in southern Laos in 2013, this paper takes an ecosystems approach to discuss how the country can build resilience and social cohesion into fisheries by incorporating women and their knowledge into village fishery management. In the process, the health of river ecosystems and food security will improve, while women fishers will acquire new skills to help them avoid ‘poverty traps.’ Introduction The concept of resilience is central to effective adaptive management of ecosystems. Developed by ecologist C.S. “Buzz” Holling in the 1970s as a theory for managing complex ecosystems, resilience theory suggests that an ecosystem is resilient if it has the ability to remain cohesive during periods of extreme perturbations or what are called ‘shocks’ (Holling 1973). Rather than “bouncing back” to a former equilibrium, an ecosystem is resilient if it can absorb changes in internal and external variables and still persist, albeit in a somewhat different yet robust form.

Regardless of the last cholera epidemic in Attapeu province, Lao PDR in the year ῍῕῕῕, the local peoples’ awareness of cholera was remarkably low, as demonstrated by the knowledge survey on diarrheal diseases performed in the province in ῎ῌῌῒ. In the case study material, derived from continuous field observations on malaria among permanent residents in relocated villages in Sanxay district from ῎ῌῌῐ to ῎ῌῌ῔, the infection rate among febrile cases was as high as ῐῑ῏ in the early resettlement period, while it was proved that the rate fell later to ῍ ῕ῌ῍ῐ῏. Judging from the environmental condition of this settlement area, this paper makes clear the persistent threat of malaria. Furthermore, among the villagers, hookworm infection was highly prevalent. However, liver fluke infections were scarce and no ascariasis was found from parasitic stool examination in ῎ῌῌΐ. Water quality analysis of the water sources resulted in remarkably safe water from tube wells from ῎ῌῌ῏ to ῎ῌῌ῔.

  • Rra Report Attapeu Watershed Attapeu
    Page 1 of 9 ADB RETA 5771 Poverty Reduction & Environmental Management in Remote Greater Mekong Subregion Watersheds Project (Phase I) RRA REPORT ATTAPEU WATERSHED ATTAPEU & CHAMPASSACK PROVINCE, LAO PDR Special Report By Latsamay Sylavong 1. General Background Attapeu watershed is located in the Southern part of Lao PDR. This watershed is covered in 2 provinces as the whole of Attapeu province and a small part of Champassack provinces (the Plateau Boloven). There are about 900 Kilometres from Vientiane Municipality and 180 kilometres from Pakse. Access to those 4 villages differs from one to another village due to the selection criteria for the RRA survey in order to cover the main ethnic minorities in the watershed area. It is found easy access to 2 villages of Champassack province (Boloven Plateau) for both seasons and very difficult to get to other 2 villages of Attapeu province, especially during raining season. The purpose of this survey is to describe the existing agroecosystems within the watershed area as the relationship to the use of forest resource by human population. In addition, Attapeu watershed is one of the shortlist watersheds priorities in Lao PDR. In the Attapeu watershed 4 villages were studied and detailed information of demographic survey in different ethnic villages as Nha Heune, Alak, Laven and Chung. The number of villages depends on the time available for this survey and the difficulty in access within this area, and the time spending at each village also depends on the size of the village. All 4 villages were selected by the survey team together with the local authorities of both provinces as Champassack and Attapeu.

Official economic projections in “Five-year National Development Plan 2001-2005” and “Long-term Development Plan 2001-2020” were described in Section 5.1. The Five-year Plan has a more specific projection that includes sectoral scenarios, but the “Long-term Plan” shows overall targets for the year 2020. In this study, then, the future projections are based on the “Five-year Plan” projection scenario. The criteria for the projection are assumed as follows. (1) That major sectors grow at the following annual rates until 2005 as proposed in the “Five-year Plan”: 4.5% in the agricultural sector, 10.5% in the industrial sector, 8.5% in the services sector and a 7.0% rise from import duties. As a result, the GDP is expected to grow at 7.0% per annum on average during the planned period. (2) That after 2005, the respective sectors grow at the same rates as set in the “Five-year Plan” until the target year 2020. The GDP projected with the above assumptions are shown in Table 25-1.

Grant Amount: US$200,000.00 Project Dates: 1 Jun, 2010-31 May, 2012 Implementation Partners for this Project (please explain the level of involvement for each partner): Department of Livestock and Fisheries (DLF) - the national agency within the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) responsible for fisheries, aquaculture and livestock development. The role of the DLF is to coordinate with line agencies at the provincial level on implementing the national policies and legal frameworks under its mandate. During this project period the DLF coordinated with WWF and provincial line agencies on disseminating and implementing the new fisheries law, veterinary law and other strategies and policies related to the project work plan. The DLF was also represented as chair of the project steering committee to oversee and monitor the progress of implementation. As such the DLF was a key agency in linking project outcomes to national policies and strategies of the government. This was a key factor in the project’s success towards CEPF Investment Priority 3.1, where analysis of national development policies and plans, via project activities, was coordinated in partnership with a key department (DLF) within the Ministry.
