Empowering women’s participation in livestock vaccination in East Africa
2023
Livestock Vaccine Innovation Fund (LVIF)
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), Rift Valley fever and Newcastle disease, are highly contagious livestock diseases. Vaccinations are available to protect livestock, but women farmers rarely benefit. Barriers include a lack of cold storage, limited veterinary and extension services, and restricted decision-making ability. Women small-scale farmers depend heavily on small livestock for their income. As they are also responsible for caring for diseased animals, they are disproportionately affected (by these livestock diseases). SheVax+ is researching new ways to improve women’s participation, and how they can better benefit from, livestock vaccine value chains (LVVCs) in Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda.
