| description | The outbreak and spread of Asian-lineage highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) from Asia to Europe and Africa in 2003-2007 challenged national disease surveillance and response programs particularly in those countries where infection occurred. Ethiopia has not had the disease, but it is considered as being vulnerable because it lies under the pathway of migratory birds and has an expansive border that makes it difficult to control cross-border trade in poultry and poultry products. Some of the challenges that the country might face in preventing and controlling HPAI relate to uncertainty about the epidemiology of the disease, resource and organizational constraints, and variable compliance with HPAI control measures by actors in the poultry sector. This study characterized control measures in terms of the expected degree of compliance among actors in the value chain and the agents responsible for their implementation, and identified specific actors who may be expected to act as compliance fail-points to successful implementation of control measures.
The study involved 102 respondents from Ada/Debre Zeit, Debre Birhan, Dessie, Kombolcha, Harar, Hawassa and Dire Dawa Districts. These respondents included 15 small-scale commercial chicken producers, 34 backyard chicken producers, 10 traders, 15 retailers, 7 transporters and 21 agents responsible for implementing mitigation measures. Small-scale commercial producers were selected randomly from a database that had been developed by the Ethiopian Sanitary and Phytosanitary Standards and Livestock and Meat Marketing (SPS-LMM) Program. Backyard chicken producers were identified randomly from the areas where commercial farms were located while traders, retailers and transporters were identified in the local markets. |
