Abstract
The study focuses on vaccine value chain (VVC) analysis in Uganda towards generating evidence and strategies that help position women so they can contribute to and benefit from livestock vaccines. It provides a baseline assessment of conditions, including a VVC analysis focusing on Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) and Newcastle Disease (NCD) to determine if the VVC supports women’s empowerment and gender equality. Studies inclusive of women farmers indicate that these livestock vaccination programs are likely to succeed. 752 million of the world’s poor keep livestock to produce food, generate income, and build assets, with women representing two-thirds (~400 million people).
