Get PDFWomen Rear project
Get PDFThe National consultative workshop on building resilient livestock vaccine supply chain is a key activity under the Women Rear project being jointly implemented by Care Ghana, Cowtribe Technology, and the International Livestock Research Institute. The 2-day workshop was jointly organised by Cowtribe technology and Care Ghana in Tamale from 9th to 10 March 2022. The goal of this workshop was to understand how to build a public-private partnership for vaccine delivery in Ghana. The workshop brought together twenty-two participants drawn from both government and private actor. Indeed, the full complement of the participants was a complete representation of the entire value chain, from government officials, civil servant staff, policy officials (Management and Functional level), analysts/specialists in PPPs, veterinary practitioners, commercial companies (service providers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and distributors, technology providers, etc.) to livestock producers associations.Bill and Melinda Gates FoundationGlobal Affairs Canada (GAC
Women’s empowerment and livestock vaccination : evidence from Peste des Petits Ruminants vaccination interventions in Northern Ghana
Get PDFHealthy livestock provide meaningful opportunities to enhance women’s empowerment (WE) in low-and middle-income countries. Animal vaccines are important to keep livestock healthy and productive. However, gender-based restrictions limit women’s access to animal health services, thereby affecting the potential of livestock to enhance their empowerment. While growing empirical evidence reveals that women-controlled livestock (e.g., small ruminants) have important implications for WE and support better household nutrition outcomes, little empirical evidence exists from rigorous analyses of the relationship between WE and animal vaccines for women-controlled livestock species. Our analysis explores the relationship between WE and involvement with PPR vaccination in Ghana. Data collected using the Women’s Empowerment in Livestock Index (WELI) tool from 465 women and 92 men farmers (who keep goats) from northern Ghana, and analyzed using PLSSEM, revealed a significant direct positive association between knowledge about animal health and PPR vaccines and a significant indirect positive association between access to PPR vaccines and empowerment. The empowerment of women goat farmers, as revealed by our model’s results for the relationship between empowerment and vaccine facets, was significantly represented by asset ownership and input into decisions concerning livestock. These study results reveal important considerations in designing effective and equitable livestock vaccine systems.Bill and Melinda Gates FoundationGlobal Affairs Canada (GAC
