dc.description.abstractWhile male livestock keepers have significant roles in vaccine research (e.g. surveillance exercises), women are normally only involved in non-technical activities, such as restraint of animals and feeding vaccinators. The project has recommended that the government recruits female extension agents to train women about Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) and its control. Improving women’s knowledge will be vital if they are to adopt a new vaccine that is being developed, particularly as 75% of women in focus group discussions could not clearly distinguish CBPP from other chronic diseases. This brief outlines the vaccination project and next steps.en
