1995年2月，博茨瓦纳恩加米兰西北地区爆发了牛传染性胸膜肺炎疫情。博茨瓦纳政府决定通过减少整个地区的牛群来根除这种疾病。总共有 32 万头牛被毁。政府采取了措施来减轻根除对受影响社区的影响，并建立了家庭监测。本文报告了监测工作的主要结果。据观察，虽然45%的家庭表示他们会依靠耕种作为应对策略，但只有29%的家庭预计能够为自己生产足够的粮食。永久性男性农业劳动力的使用量下降了 33%，而永久性和临时性女性劳动力的使用量则大幅增加。尽管十分之八的受访者计划重建牛群，但家庭对收到的通常较小的现金补偿的日常要求表明，恩加米兰许多家庭的经济复苏可能会持续很长时间。建议继续开展救济计划，但要提高针对性。需要客观指标来确定何时可以终止政府援助。
In February 1995, an outbreak of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia occurred in the Northwest district of Ngamiland, Botswana. The government of Botswana determined to eradicate the disease by depopulating the entire district of cattle. In total, 320,000 cattle were destroyed. Measures were put in place by government to mitigate the effects of eradication on the affected communities and household monitoring was instituted. This paper reports the major findings of the monitoring exercise. It is observed that although 45% of households said they would rely on arable cropping as a coping strategy, only 29% expected to produce sufficient food for themselves. Use of permanent, male agricultural labor fell by 33%, whereas both permanent and temporary female labor increased substantially. Although eight out of ten respondents planned to rebuild their herds, routine household demands on the generally small cash compensation received suggest that economic recovery for many of Ngamiland's households is likely to be prolonged. It is recommended that relief programmes continue but with improved targeting. Objective indicators are needed to determine when government assistance can be terminated.
