Abstract
Vaccines are important for control of livestock diseases yet their effective use is hampered by low levels of awareness, high acquisition costs, accessibility issues and unequal gender relations at household level. The presentation provides an overview of research objectives: to explore the socio-cultural, economic and technical barriers in access to Newcastle Disease (NCD) and pestes des petit ruminants (PPR) vaccines; to examine norms that hinder women from owning livestock, participating in and benefiting from livestock vaccines, and to establish vaccine knowledge among women farmers and their ability to use and benefit from vaccines.
