Synopsis (short abstract) Value chain studies, including production system and market chain studies, are essential to value chain analysis, which when coupled with disease risk analysis is a powerful tool to identify key constraints and opportunities for disease control based on risk management in a livestock production and marketing system. Several production system and market chain studies have been conducted to support disease control interventions in South East Asia. This practical aid summarizes experiences and less ons learned from the implementation of such value chain studies in South East Asia. Based on these experiences it prioritizes the required data for the respective purpose of a value chain study and recommends data collection as well as data analysis tools.This practical aid is intended as an adjunct to the FAO value chain approach and animal diseases risk management guidelines document. Further practical advice is provided for more effective use of value chain studies in South and South East Asia as part of animal health decision support.

    This factsheet highlights key progress and achievements from the first 18 months (December 2023 to May 2025) of the FAO Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) project “Building resilient animal health systems to reduce the risks and impact of biological threats in Southeast Asia.”With support from the United States Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the project has helped strengthen animal health systems in six Southeast Asian countries. Activities focused on building field epidemiology skills, improving laboratory systems, enhancing surveillance and early warning and promoting cross-border collaboration.Key accomplishments include expanding workforce training through the regional field epidemiology programme, activation of a regional disease rumour tracking system, developing national laboratory strategies and coordinating surveillance initiatives.
