Transforming development concepts and strategies into sustainable solutions
Indonesia - Community-Based Avian Influenza Control (CBAIC) ProjectClient: U.S. Agency for International Development August 2006 - September 2009 Towards sustainable bird flu risk reduction Indonesia accounts for the most confirmed human H5N1 avian influenza (AI) cases and deaths in the world. At the epicenter of the AI epizootic since soon after its reported emergence in poultry in early 2004, Indonesia has been aware of its need to expand its surveillance and response capabilities. Since its inception in August 2006, CBAIC has worked with the Government of Indonesia and local partners to do just that. CBAIC has expanded community-level capacity in animal and human surveillance and response to more than 27,000 different villages across the western half of the country. Highlights Current Work Sustainable risk reduction is the aim in the last year of the project, which ends in September 2009. The geographic focus has narrowed to western Java Island, where nearly seventy percent of all confirmed human and animal AI cases in Indonesia have been recorded. To ensure efficiency and to leverage the reach of the diversity of AI control initiatives in Indonesia, CBAIC continues to collaborate with USAID AI partners including FAO, WHO, ILRI, the Ministry of Agriculture AI Campaign Management Unit (CMU), the Ministry of Health, and local government officials. CBAIC initiatives include a community mobilization program to reduce the risk of AI transmission in West Java province, a commercial poultry private sector partnership (PSP) to develop and test biosecurity advisory services models, and an integrated behavior change mass media campaign as follow-on to the 2008 campaign. Combined, these activities are well aimed to further reduce the risk of AI transmission to animals and humans, and, ultimately, to reduce the risk of pandemic influenza developing from deadly bird flu.
