The objective of the Regional Disease Surveillance Systems Enhancement (REDISSE) Project for Nigeria is to strengthen national and regional cross-sectoral capacity for collaborative disease surveillance and epidemic preparedness in West Africa.
... See More + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: all drainage and effluent from storage areas, workshops and camp sites shall be captured and treated before being discharged into the drainage system in line with applicable government water pollution control regulations; used oil from maintenance shall be collected and disposed off appropriately at designated sites or be re-used or sold for re-use locally; entry of runoff to the site shall be restricted by constructing diversion channels or holding structures such as banks, drains, dams, etc. to reduce the potential of soil erosion and water pollution; and disposal sites for clean spoil are necessary, they shall be located in areas, approved by the SE, of low land use value and where they will not result in material being easily washed into drainage channels. Whenever possible, spoil materials should be placed in low-lying areas and should be compacted and planted with species indigenous to the locality.

... See More + It will address systemic weaknesses within the animal and human health systems that hinder effective disease surveillance and response. This Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP) is intended to help manage the adverse effects of identified pests and pesticides on cassava in the SCPZ Alape-Agbadu site to acceptable levels. The plan is designed to minimize potential adverse impacts on human health and the environment and to advance ecologically based IPM. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include : i)To increase the productive of large scale agricultural project and animal disease vector risk control program to use of chemicals, reagents, and pesticides with potential impacts and risks on the environment and human health; ii) improved pubic and animal health; (iii) Increase capacity of institutions to manage health mergencies/outbreaks in environmental and socially safe manner; IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment.
