Managing Zoonotic Disease Risk in the Wild Meat Trade: USAID Wildlife TRAPS in Vietnam
The Wildlife Trafficking Response, Assessment, and Priority Setting (TRAPS) activity focuses on tackling wildlife trafficking in Africa and Asia. This case study specifically showcases TRAPS' efforts in Vietnam. These efforts are aimed at adjusting food and trade policies, influencing consumer behavior, and improving wildlife supply chain management. The primary objective is to mitigate the risks of zoonotic disease spillover and animal-to-human transmission linked to illegal and poorly managed wildlife trade.
In 2022, USAID collected this case study, as part of a series that looks at USAID-funding activities from around the world. The case study provides a snapshot of the activity and how it addresses the questions posed in the Wild Meat Learning Agenda. For more information on how the Wildlife TRAPS activity has progressed in Vietnam see the following resources:
