Embracing complexity in smallholder poultry systems for effective animal health surveillance
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This paper explores how adopting a participatory approach combined with a systems thinking framework can help develop a contextually relevant, cost-effective and sustainable animal health surveillance system for smallholder poultry systems. By actively engaging stakeholders and addressing system complexity, these approaches can generate practical insights and support effective surveillance design that enables timely disease response, enhances poultry health management and strengthens livelihoods through coordinated actions to mitigate disease risks.
