Synopsis (short abstract) South East Asia continuously faces challenges and threats of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). While the number of outbreaks has gradually declined, there has been rapid evolution and emergence of new HPAI virus strains and clades, accompanied with wider geographical spread. During the past several years, lessons have been learned with respect to HPAI risk pathways and challenges in control, allowing us to collectively gather evidence to be able to formulate and pilot possible approaches for Avian Influenza risk mitigation. In response to the need of using and applying the collective evidence of the past years, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Australian Government supported FAO’s efforts towards risk management with the project “Evidence-Based Risk Management along the Livestock Production and Market Chain”.

    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.

    Evidence-based risk management along the livestock production and market chain: Myanmar 2019

    Since 2007, multiple strains of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus have entered Myanmar and caused reported outbreaks. The country is at risk for zoonotic avian influenza A (H7N9) virus incursion. Furthermore, active surveillance in live bird markets regularly detects H5N1 and H5N6 HPAI viruses and low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) H9N2 viruses. Complex diseases require multifaceted and innovative approaches that tackle the problem and mitigate their risk from various aspects. In Myanmar, the project, “Evidence-Based Risk Management along the Livestock Production and Market Chain” works collaboratively between the Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department (LBVD) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD). The project is supported by the United States Agency for International Development and the Australian Government.
