      international approach.
PG  - 179-85
AB  - The Caribbean Amblyomma program (CAP) is a multidonor funded effort involving 
      several technical organizations and national governments in the eradication of 
      the tropical bont tick. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is the lead 
      technical agency, providing both technical and administrative support to the CAP 
      Regional Coordination Unit (RCU) based in Barbados. All collaborating agencies, 
      donors, and national representatives are members of the Amblyomma Program Council 
      (APC), the overall governing body of the CAP. In addition to FAO, the other 
      organizations involved are the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the European Union 
      (EU), the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), the 
      International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the United States 
      Department of Agriculture (USDA). Several agencies (EU, FAO, IFAD, and USDA) are 
      also major donors. The CAP cooperates with the complementary Plan POSEIDOM 
      Veterinaire Program in the French West Indies. The University of the West Indies 
      (UWI), the International Institute for Biological Control (IIBC), and the 
      Departement d'Elevage et de Medecine Veterinaire des Pays Tropicaux (EM-VT) in 
      Guadeloupe are other collaborators.
