  • PREDICT

    PREDICT, a project of USAID’s Emerging Pandemic Threats Program, is building a global early warning system to detect and reduce the impacts of emerging diseases that move between wildlife and people (zoonotic diseases). PREDICT has developed a SMART surveillance method (Strategic, Measurable, Adaptive, Responsive, and Targeted) that accounts for the fact that zoonotic pathogens, such as influenza and SARS, are responsible for the majority of emerging infectious diseases in people, and that more than three quarters of these emerging zoonoses are of wildlife origin.

  • Stamp Out Sleeping Sickness (SOS)

    The Stamp Out Sleeping sickness (SOS) campaign is a public private partnership launched in Kampala, Uganda in October 2006. This partnership was formed in response to an emergency situation arising in a number of districts in Northern Uganda where the two strains of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) – also known as “sleeping sickness”- threaten to converge.

    SOS partners have engaged in building a platform for sustainability through educating and teaching farmers and key stakeholders on sleeping sickness and the close links between animal health and human health and economic development. To further empower farmers and communities to “do it for themselves” additional initiatives have been put in place by the private sector partners, like mobile spray teams and the start-up of private veterinary practices and drug shops in previously unserved areas of the SOS districts, the so called “3 V Vet Initiative”.
