Abstract

Removal of barriers to women’s involvement in livestock vaccine value chains (VVC) is associated with huge benefits. Women participate in animal raising especially for small livestock in households. Small livestock can quickly create income, as they mature fast and can be sold easily. This report provides details of the project in Rwanda. It analyzes the value chain from small producers to veterinarians and vaccine supply, including disease prevention and barriers associated with immunization. Researchers were trained in gender analysis and methodologies for data collection, outcome mapping and the Women’s Empowerment in Livestock Index (WELI).
