Abstract
This country report provides background to launching value chain mapping of the pestes des petit ruminants (PPR) vaccine in the Karamoja sub-region in Uganda. The first stage will map the livestock vaccine value chain (LVVC) and will help determine how the PPR vaccine value chain (VVC) functions in terms of delivering vaccines and involving female livestock keepers, as well as the related attitudes and perceptions of various LVVC actors on women’s involvement. For instance, women farmers receive limited extension services and technical information compared to men (14% women vs. 30% men); extension services lack women’s involvement to determine their needs.
