In Africa, small livestock are one of the assets women are allowed to own, take control over, and sell to meet their financial needs. Newcastle disease (ND) is a major constraint in the sector due to frequent outbreaks and despite intensive vaccinations. A vaccine value chain analysis was carried out in both Nairobi and Machakos. The efficacy of the vaccine depends on its proper handling. Most times, this is the point where vaccine quality and efficacy has been compromised (breaking the cold chain). Outcome mapping was used to identify critical boundary partners. Long distance to vaccine distribution points was another barrier to vaccine access for most farmers.
