This study examined the factors driving low adoption of vaccination against Newcastle disease (NCD) and Rift Valley fever (RFV) among smallholder women farmers of Nyagatare District in order to identify appropriate strategies that can lead to improved livestock production. Results reveal that women’s ability to use livestock vaccines is constrained by cultural norms that limit their decisions over productive assets and income for use in buying vaccines. Women are also hindered by unavailability of the livestock vaccines, lack of information and knowledge about livestock vaccination, and limited access to veterinary extension services.
