dc.description.abstractSmallholder indigenous chicken farmers suffer the disadvantages of low economies of scale in production, and weak bargaining power as individual actors in the marketing of their produce. These risks compromise their livelihood sources but also the dietary diversity and nutrition security for their households. Unequal gender relations at micro and meso levels may exacerbate the challenges that smallholder farmers face. In Makueni County, livestock keeping have a high potential to economically empower women smallholder farmers yet diseases like Newcastle Disease (ND), Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) and unequal gender relations undermine this potential. In response to these, the GIVE research project seeks to enhance the access and distribution of livestock vaccines through collective action especially co-operatives and groups.en
