1. The document outlines an animal health component that focuses on developing vaccines, diagnostics, and biosecurity protocols for infectious diseases through two interdependent activities: value chain assessments and current projects using generic platforms.
2. Key outputs by 2012-2013 include improved diagnostics and vaccines for diseases like East Coast fever, CBPP, and ASF, as well as thermostabilized PPR vaccines and biosecurity protocols.
3. Overall outcomes include better systems for delivering animal health technologies, increased access to services for smallholders, and improved productivity and economic returns in value chains.

27-29 September 2011
2. General Implementation Strategy
• Focus on vaccines, diagnostics and biosecurity
protocols for infectious diseases
• Two interdependent activities
1. VC assessment (Th. 2)
• infectious disease constraints
• policy & institutional constraints
2. Current projects (generic platforms)
3. Overall Outcomes
• Development of better systems to deliver existing
and forthcoming vaccines
• Development of better vaccines and diagnostics
targeted on priority diseases in selected value chains
• Development of appropriate biosecurity systems
• Development of delivery systems that increase
access to animal health services to women livestock
keepers, and poor smallholders
4. Overall Outcomes
• Improved systems and capacities for monitoring
evolution, introduction and spread of pathogens (CRP
4.3)

on the impacts on production and economics of
pig diseases and potential disease measures
(including reports on A. pig production
activities and diseases for target areas; B. Cost
effective disease control including CSF
vaccination strategies implemented with
serological monitoring to assess degree of
protection and optimise vaccination
19. Outputs
Value chain analysis (Theme 2)
2012
• Initial rapid assessment of technology gaps,
epidemiological patterns, economic importance and
institutional limitations in mitigating animal disease
constraints in target value chains.
2013
• Identification of combinations of technology,
epidemiological knowledge and institutional change
to solve specific animal health problems
20. Outcomes
2012 / 2013
• Improved aquaculture biosafety and biosecurity
measures adopted and being used
• Prevention of alien pathogens by control of
introduction alien species for aquaculture
•Vaccine and diagnostic assay researchers and/or
manufacturers using data and antigens to design,
make or ascertain the prospects for new or
improved animal technologies of benefit in the
target value chains.
21. Outcomes
2012 / 2013 (cont.)
• International, regional and national authorities
and researchers using the data to develop and
disseminate improved biosecurity protocols.
• Productivity and economic returns of village
pig systems and reduce the risks to human health
along the market chain in SE Asia and Eastern
Africa are improved
23. Priorities for Resource Mobilization
2012
Identify gaps in funding to achieve outputs and
target potential sources
Recruit FTE to undertake VCA (Th. 2)
24. Priorities for Organizational, Capacity
Development and Communication Activities
Ensure collaborative links with FAO, CIRAD and
others are functioning well
Restructure team to match needs identified in VC
assessment exercise
Develop effective, sustainable communication
strategies to link researchers with value chain
participants to identify needs
25. Priorities for Organizational, Capacity
Development and Communication Activities
Develop effective, sustainable communication
strategies to link researchers across value chains to
facilitate development of solutions and
dissemination of results
Seek further integration of ILRI led work in Uganda
and Viet Nam with CIAT led activities in SE Asia
