The information collected during the first and second workshop will be analyzed by CIRAD researchers to elucidate the structure of the production chain and its role in determining the mobility pattern.
The objectives of this virtual workshop are to:
- Collection of information on national and international animal mobility and drivers thereof;
- Identification of main drivers of animal mobility, modelling and prediction of national and regional animal mobility patterns affecting transboundary animal disease circulation.
Session 3: Establish a survey protocol for in-country data collection - Thursday, 28 October 2021 from 10 am to 13 pm CET.
The objectives of the third workshop will be:
- Longitudinal monitoring of livestock movements (entries and exit) and commercial transaction (quantity and prices, characteristics of traded animals) occurring in the identified hotspots (cf. above);
- Investigation of motivators of livestock purchase and trade in a sample of major actors of value chains.
