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.

    Livestock production constitutes a vital component of the agricultural economy of South Sudan, accounting for up to 15 percent of household food supply in the country. Specifically, it contributes directly to nutrition securitythrough the supply of milk, meat and eggs – high-qualitysources of protein and micronutrients. Livestock is also anindirect source of income (through aspects such asmanure, fertilizer and fuel) and is closely linked to thesocial and cultural lives of a millions of resource-poorfarmers, for whom animal ownership ensures varyingdegrees of sustainable farming and economic stability. In recent decades, animals (both livestock and wildlife)have moved freely between the countries bordering South Sudan in search of pasture, water and trade opportunities. Although Foot-and-Mouth disease (FMD) isendemic in South Sudan, this movement heightens of therisk of introduction and spread of the disease around thecountry. One notable outbreak of the disease occurred in2014/2015 in the country’s Lakes, Eastern and Central Equatoria states. Since its independence in 2011, South Sudan has lacked aproperly functioning veterinary service. Disease controlwithin the country has, until now, been overseen by Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and United Nations agencies, without whose support the Government’s veterinary services are ineffective.
