Annex 16 – Farmer training report
No full textThe GIVE research project team conducted a farmer training exercise between January 18th and February 6th 2021 in all six intervention sites (wards). The training objectives were to: (i) Enhance smallholder chicken and goat farmer’s knowledge and practical skills in livestock husbandry and effective control of Newcastle disease and contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (ii) Co-create gender and nutrition dialogue spaces within the community and; (iii) Enhance farmers’ knowledge on cooperative formation and entrepreneurial skills necessary to start, manage and sustain a chicken/shoats farming enterprise. The content in the training manuals was partly informed by the farmers’ needs identified from the baseline surveys. The training lasted for three consecutive days in each intervention site and focused on three key and interrelated components of the GIVE project, i.e.: (i) animal husbandry and vaccines, (ii) entrepreneurship and cooperatives, and (iii) gender and nutrition aspects.Bill and Melinda Gates FoundationGlobal Affairs Canada (GAC
Annex 8b - Report on norms that hinder women from owning and participating and benefitting from the livestock vaccine value chain
No full textA community’s shared standards of acceptable behaviour as well as gender norms and relations may affect an individuals’ capacity to own, use livestock, engage and participate in livestock production and vaccine value chain. For instance, dynamics in livestock ownership, gender roles and decision making at the household and community level may have an effect on access to relevant information, decision making on product sale, incentives from relevant actors or motivation to engage in or participate in livestock production and veterinary services. With this bearing, the GIVE project team, through focus group discussions sought to identify the norms that hinder women from owning and using livestock, participating in and benefiting from the livestock vaccine value chain and utilizing vaccines to improve productivity for their livestock.Bill and Melinda Gates FoundationGlobal Affairs Canada (GAC
Annex 7 - Report of group and co-operative leaders training on marketing and networking

Gender inclusive vaccine ecosystem : enhancing distribution and delivery systems for Newcastle Disease (ND) and Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) among smallholder farmers
Get PDFThe Gender Inclusive Vaccine Ecosystem (GIVE) project is a 3-years’ action research that seeks to enhance the distribution and delivery system for Newcastle disease and Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia vaccines among smallholder farmers in Makueni County, Kenya. To identify norms that hinder women from participating in the poultry production chain and map out the stakeholders involved, qualitative data was collected through mixed and gender disaggregated Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with smallholder chicken farmers and local leaders. Participants were purposively selected based on knowledge of subject matter and being indigenous members of the study site. Local leaders were considered to be cultural custodians, gatekeepers and knowledgeable of the institutions or actors that influence norms. A total of 18 FGD session (three sessions in each of the six intervention sites) were conducted and each FGD sessions took between 105 minutes and 120 minutes.Bill and Melinda Gates FoundationGlobal Affairs Canada (GAC

Report on socio-economic, cultural, structural and technical barriers in access to Newcastle Disease (ND) and Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCP) vaccines, Kenya
Get PDFRural small holder women farmers in sub-Sahara Africa derive substantial livelihoods from livestock, particularly chickens and small ruminants. Women are more involved in making management and investment decisions around chickens and small ruminants in their households compared to any other livestock species. The realization of the full benefits of chicken and small ruminant rearing by smallholder women farmers is often impeded by diseases. Newcastle disease (ND) affecting chickens and contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) of goats have been identified as the most devastating diseases hindering chicken and goat production in Makueni county. While use of potent vaccines against ND and CCPP has been shown to be effective in preventing these diseases, vaccine uptake and use remains low in the region due to low levels of awareness, high acquisition costs, accessibility, unequal gender relations at household level among other barriers.Bill and Melinda Gates FoundationGlobal Affairs Canada (GAC
