Abstract
Livestock vaccines are more accessible to male farmers partly due to existing gender inequalities, inadequate veterinary technicians, and the lack of female veterinarians. The Women Rear Project aims to determine what is necessary to develop a vaccine delivery system that improves the livelihood of women farmers rearing livestock. Under the peste des petits (PPR) vaccination campaign most of the 1,523 participants were women farmers (99%). This policy brief outlines the project activities and challenges. Findings show that the successful implementation of women’s livelihood improvement programs requires men/husbands’ engagement.
