3. The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) supported the Konzo Workshop in Nampula, Mozambique in 2000 and Konzo Rehabilitation Centres in Mozambique. AusAID funded a program on prevention and rehabilitation of konzo cases in Tanzania and in 2011 has funded the prevention of konzo using the wetting method in villages in DRC. We thank AusAID for their financial support. Website: www.ausaid.gov.au
4. The Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), Canberra, funded research and production of picrate kits for determination of total cyanide in cassava roots and flour and urinary thiocyanate and for their supply, free of charge, to health workers and agriculturalists in developing countries. ACIAR also funded longitudinal monitoring of cyanide in cassava flour and urinary thiocyanate measurements in Nampula Province, Mozambique until 2004. We thank Dr Paul Ferrar of ACIAR for his interest over 9 years and ACIAR for financial support. Website: http://www.aciar.gov.au
5. The Kyeema Foundation funded testing in 2004-5 of the wetting method and promotion of the method in two workshops held in Mozambique in 2006. Website: http://www.kyeemafoundation.org/
