    and animal health risk and its emergence may necessitate significant restructuring of poultry (chicken and duck) production, especially in Thailand and Viet Nam where the highest incidence of avian and human cases have been reported. In both these countries, poultry production is an essential economic activity for the rural poor, and their livelihoods could be adversely affected by control strategies implemented to mitigate disease risks. To better understand linkages between different strategie s for the control of avian flu and the impacts on rural poor majorities as well as on other stakeholders in these two countries, a concept note outlining an investigative approach aimed at achieving a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the socioeconomic impacts of selected control strategies for avian influenza in Viet Nam and Thailand was prepared by the FAO-Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Facility. The proposal intends to foster research partnerships between national research institutions an d international expertise in the fields of epidemiology, economics and spatial data analysis, build on past and on-going work, and strengthen regional cooperation by clearly identifying mutual interests and concerns.
