Activities1.1Workshops and meetings to encourage participation from identified stakeholders, and raiseawareness in national and regional context.1.2 Evaluate market/economic impact of BNP with market chain analysis using secondary dataon production costs/yields, and interviews with producers, export and domestic traders, andconsumers1.3 Define baseline data on livelihood options and coping strategies of pond and cage farmingfamilies with/out BNP experience using participatory methods.1.4 Assess impact of BNP out-breaks on livelihood options/activities using questionnaires andgroup meetings at household level2.1 Produce training and standard operating procedures (SOP) for bacteriology, parasitology andhistology analyses from farmed fingerling and grow out fish with and without clinical signs ofdisease.2.2 Produce assays for rapid confirmation of pathogen and test these using fish samples fromfarms with BNP outbreaks and laboratory-based experimental challenges.2.3 Perform longitudinal study with cage farmers in An Giang province within a singleproduction cycle to identify risk factors for BNP outcome.3.1 Develop intervention strategies through integration of results from activities 1.2, 1.4 and 2.3.3.2 Test intervention strategies at household and district level.3.3 Disseminate project results and intervention strategies both down and upstream using groupmeetings and workshops facilitated through existing regional networks.4.1 Assess uptake of strategies through interviews with farming households and extensionservices.4.2 Assess impacts of interventions and overall effectiveness of strategies through interviewswith key informants within farming community, extension services, commercial andGovernment sector4.3 Identify key lessons and issues for wider use4.4 Promote findings through regional networks and information systems – technical and policyissues
