ABSTRACT
The Northern Region of Ghana is important agriculturally and contributes significantly to
the livestock sub-sector. Livestock production in the region is, however, bedevilled with
many constraints such as animal diseases and inadequate feed and water for livestock
during the dry season. Among animal diseases, trypanosomosis is identified as the most
important constraint and the sustainability of the control of tsetse, which is the main
vector of this disease, is the focus of this study. Contingent Valuation (CV) techniques
were used to generate estimates of farmers’ willingness to pay in cash or labour for tsetse
control. With respect to the low trypanosomosis risk villages, only 1.1% of the 90
fanners declined to contribute some resources for tsetse control. In addition 4.4% and
23.3% pledged monetary and labour contribution respectively. Furthermore, 71.1% were
willing to contribute both money and labour. The average proposed monetary
contribution is between 7,062 and 15,000 Ghanaian cedis (US$0.78-1.70).
