Advancing women's participation in livestock vaccine value chains in Nepal, Senegal and Uganda
Small ruminants and poultry provide key benefits to women in many developing countries. Unfortunately, in many livestock value chains (all production activities up to the sale of the final product), women have less access than men to vaccines and they have limited ability to influence household decision-making about vaccination and animal health. New gender-transformative approaches are needed to deal with this issue, to move the debate beyond the traditional men/women dichotomy, and to determine new ways to improve women’s ability to participate in, and benefit from, these value chains.
This project will examine gendered roles and relations in selected vaccine distribution chains for diseases that affect livestock species belonging to or primarily managed by women. The diseases of focus are Peste des Petits Ruminants (which affects small ruminants such as goats) and Newcastle disease and avian influenza (which affect poultry). All three diseases are endemic to Africa, are highly contagious, and have high mortality rates.
The research team will address the interconnected factors affecting women’s involvement in the vaccine distribution chain; provide capacity development using a gendered intersectional transformative approach; and develop a gender and intersectional mapping tool for small ruminant and poultry vaccine distribution chains. A multi-country analysis will assess the impacts and barriers of gender and intersectionality on women’s entry into the vaccine distribution chain, their effective participation in the chain, and their benefits from it.
This project is supported by the Livestock Vaccine Innovation Fund (LVIF), a partnership of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Global Affairs Canada, and IDRC. LVIF represents a joint investment of CA$57 million over five years to support the development, production, and commercialization of innovative vaccines against priority livestock diseases in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.

Integrating gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) in animal health delivery in Nepal (English) Brief
In Nepal, women are often the primary caretakers of goats. However, they experience differentiated access to animal health services due to caste. Women from upper castes have better access to veterinary services, inputs, and information, enabled by their membership in goat cooperatives. Women from lower castes, on the other hand, have restricted membership in goat cooperatives and thus, less access to local animal health service providers and services. Consequently, they are less able to benefit from animal health campaigns or small livestock related business opportunities compared to upper caste women. A study by the University of Florida demonstrated the importance of integrating a Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) approach in animal health delivery to reach, benefit and empower women of lower castes and other marginalized goat-rearing communities to improve livestock productivity and health.

Making vaccines available and accessible to women and other marginalized livestock farmers Brief
When women’s animals are not vaccinated, the animals pose a risk to spread of disease in the wider community. The LVIF study’s broad purpose was to understand the reasons that prevent the livestock and poultry of women and other marginalized groups from being vaccinated. By mapping the entire vaccine value chain of the PPR vaccine, the study noted two sites or nodes of action where applying a gendered intersectional analysis could lead to improved uptake of vaccinations for the animals of women and other marginalized groups regardless of their socio-cultural background, age, ethnicity, and geographic location.

Gender and social inclusion training for vet and animal health service providers Brief
In Uganda, the majority of rural households are engaged in livestock rearing. Livestock is reared by both men and women, and in some pastoral communities, sick animals are left in the care of women while men take healthy animals for grazing. Research shows that gender and attitudes of animal health service providers can affect their veterinary practice and quality of care. Developing an understanding of how gender and perceptions of it can influence veterinary practices is essential to improve the reach and quality of service delivery. However, veterinarians, animal husbandry officers, and community animal health workers, referred to as animal health service providers in this brief, often receive limited and inconsistent training. Moreover, the training does not integrate gender responsive communication and entrepreneurship skills to help animal health service providers deliver gender equitable and inclusive services.

Gender-responsive and inclusive veterinary extension for healthy animals, reduced poverty and empowered women Brief
The study’s broad purpose was to understand the reasons why animal health workers overlook women in service delivery. In order to understand this, the study looked at the different identities and roles of women, not just as wives and mothers and farmers, but also as managers and owners of livestock. The study found that, it is common, in Karamoja, for women to own small ruminants and poultry, as well as be responsible for managing dairy cattle and other livestock in the home compound. However, the common perception among extension agents is that women do not own or manage livestock, that they are not strong enough to restrain an animal, and that only men can make decisions about livestock production, health, and business.

Beyond the gender of the livestock holder: learnings from intersectional analyses of PPR vaccine value chains in Nepal, Senegal, and Uganda Article
The peste des petits ruminants (PPR) vaccination programs often go beyond cited financial, technological, and logistical constraints. This paper examines the less-investigated factors across three countries. In particular it looks at the role of gender norms and other social and cultural factors that affect which livestock keepers are able or unable to access PPR vaccines and which groups are less reached by vaccine distribution systems. Overall, women derive fewer benefits from the system than men. Belonging to certain ethnic groups, being of low caste, or living in remote regions are additional markers of marginalization in terms of vaccination access.

CAHW training : a facilitation manual to train community animal health workers working with the livestock vaccine value chain focused on gendered intersectional transformative approaches - Uganda Training Materials
Many recognize there are multiple factors that prevent women from vaccinating their animals, most often related to gender and other intersectional issues (such as class, caste/ethnicity, disability, age, etc.). We believe that using a gendered intersectional approach to working with women livestock owners, all levels of animal health workers, and trainers will be transformative in opening up the spaces to allow for fuller participation of women in the livestock vaccine value chain. This training manual contains activities for each day of a six-day training program. The program is designed for village animal health workers and the overall objective is to enhance these workers’ capacities in using inclusive approaches in their work with community members, especially women and others from marginalized communities.

Mapping the Peste des Petits Ruminants vaccine value chain in Karamoja, Uganda : an intersectional analysis to understand the barriers to livestock vaccination Study
Agriculture is central to Uganda’s economy with 70% of employment coming from this sector and a22.8% share of the GDP for 2018 (World Bank, 2018). Livestock are one of the main sources of livelihoods for many Ugandans across the country with 60% of smallholder farmers raising livestock for sale and home consumption (Anderson et al., 2016). Livestock alone contributed 4% of the GDP in 2018 (World Bank, 2018). It is important to understand all factors surrounding livestock in order to inform intervention strategies that aim to increase productivity. Gender and intersectionality are factors often overlooked that are key in developing successful agricultural interventions. Even though there has been progress towards gender equality in Uganda overall, the Karamoja subregion still lags behind in this regard (African Development Bank Group, 2016). When it comes to livestock interventions in the Karamoja subregion, interventions are often gender blind as culturally men are viewed as the decision makers in the household regarding livestock. The aim of this study is to better understand the livestock vaccine value chain (LVVC) in Karamoja with a focus on how gender and intersectionality interact along the value chain. Who owns which livestock are important questions to ask and answer before undertaking a vaccination program. Karamoja being such a remote and culturally diverse setting, an intervention strategy to increase vaccination uptake should include an analysis of different intersectional factors as end-users and other actors in the value chain might have different needs and barriers to vaccination.

Mapping the Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) disease vaccine value chain in Nepal : an intersectional analysis to increase women's engagement and benefit Study
In Nepal and other developing countries of Asia and Africa, the burden of treatable infectious diseases among livestock is high and access to animal health services and laboratories is challenging if not burdensome on the smallholder owners. Consequences of the Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) disease outbreaks are pressing issues, both globally and in Nepal. Lack of routine vaccination practices have contributed to the occurrence of outbreaks, while at the same time, underuse of vaccines through lack of access, affordability and availability also leads to death of goats and sheep. As part of the global effort to eradicate PPR disease in Nepal by 2030, the Government of Nepal (GON) has been actively supporting the production of the PPR vaccines and facilitating their delivery throughout the country. This report presents the findings from the livestock vaccine value chain (LVVC) mapping activity conducted by the University of Florida (UF) researchers in collaboration with local partners and students from two agricultural universities in the country: The Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU) and the Himalayan College of Agriculture Science and Technology (HICAST).

Country gap report : Senegal Study
This report provides an assessment of the vaccine value chain (VVC) for livestock diseases, in particular Newcastle disease (ND) for poultry and Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) for small ruminants, focusing on the Kaffrine region in Senegal. Besides obtaining a more comprehensive mapping of the ND and PPR vaccine value chain, this report contributes to the project goal of identifying the barriers in access to, and participation in VVC due to gender and intersectionality factors (such as caste, ethnicity, age, wealth, education, religion, and livelihood), as well as the opportunities to increase women’s engagement in VVC in the region.

Mapping the livestock vaccine value chains through a gender and intersectionality lens : a tool for understanding and analysis Training Materials
Understanding how the livestock vaccine value chains work is key to improve vaccine delivery when it is needed. It is also critically important to analyze how gender intersects with other social markers (e.g., age, caste, ethnicity, livelihood) at each node of the value chain to better understand what barriers affect women's participation. This document showcases four livestock vaccine value chains in Nepal, Senegal and Uganda that were mapped in 2019. We encourage the use of the mapping approach with a Gendered lntersectional Transformative Approach (GITA) and these icons to analyze the vaccine value chains in other contexts.

The purpose of this paper is to utilize data collected from Advancing women’s participation in livestock vaccine value chains in Nepal, Senegal and Uganda (Advance) during 2020-2021 to assess the impacts of COVID-19 safety measures on animal health, including livestock vaccinations, veterinary services, and livestock-related research activities in these countries. Country coordinators from each of three countries provided weekly reports to Principal Investigators on national COVID-19 regulations, beginning in May 2020. Interviews with country coordinators were conducted during spring 2021 via Zoom to provide additional contextual information regarding the impact of COVID-19 in each country. Information collected during interviews and through weekly reports was analyzed qualitatively to document a historic timeline of COVID-19 policy changes and associated impact on both human and animal health. The main themes that were analyzed in weekly country reports and country coordinator interviews were compliance, politics, access to care, and agriculture. All three countries experienced similar trajectories, with small differences in reporting and spikes for COVID-19 cases and a COVID-19 vaccine rollout starting in the spring of 2021. Fluctuations in lockdown policies, employment, and travel restrictions created additional barriers to access of livestock vaccines, animal supplies, and veterinary services in all three countries. Livestock vaccine services were completely halted in some countries because of travel restrictions and disruptions in the supply chain created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Veterinary services were also limited as a result of travel restraints and market closures. Given the global dependence of rural livelihoods on livestock, additional research is needed to examine the near- and long-term impacts of COVID-19 on livestock populations, especially women, and services including livelihoods, gender norms, veterinary services, and livestock-related research activities globally.

Who has access to livestock vaccines? : using the social-ecological model and intersectionality frameworks to identify the social barriers to peste des petits ruminants vaccines in Karamoja, Uganda Article
Results of the study show there are seven intersecting factors that influence access to vaccination: gender, ethnicity, geographic location, age, physical ability, marital status, and access to education. The socio-ecological model (SEM) highlights vast inequalities within the current system. Access to vaccines and information about animal health was the most limited among women, widows, the elderly, the disabled, those geographically isolated, and others with pre-existing unfavorable knowledge regarding vaccination practices. Cultural norms of communities were also important factors determining access to peste des petits ruminants (PPR) vaccines. Women remain burdened with household chores, along with gender-based violence and discriminatory beliefs and practices.

Advancing women's participation in livestock vaccine value chains in Nepal, Senegal and Uganda : communications strategy Study
The report discusses targeted groups to increase visibility, highlight project results, promote uptake of research findings, and promote partnerships. The report details country specific communications strategies, distinguishing between the three countries (Nepal, Senegal, Uganda). It also delineates the indicators used to monitor the communication strategy, as well as the roles and responsibilities of the team regarding communications. The project will further the knowledge of constraints that women face in the livestock vaccine value chain (LVVC). Author(s): Harper, Jim Language: English |
Healthy animals, happy people : a flipbook for use with community animal health workers working with the livestock vaccine value chain in Karamoja Sub Region, Uganda - Kjong context Training Materials
“Vaccination does not treat sick animals. It helps to prevent the disease from spreading to healthy animals. You must treat all the sick animals, first…” The book tells the story of villagers’ fearful responses when some of their livestock start to get sick. The illustrations provide excellent support for a simple, yet far-reaching story. The theme is raising awareness of animal diseases and their treatment, with outcomes of increased security in terms of animal health and household income. Community animal health workers (CAWH) provide nodes of reliable information and training so that disease prevention can gain a foothold among women and men farmers.

Gender and intersectional analysis of livestock vaccine value chains in Kaffrine, Senegal Article
Theories of intersectionality recognize that forms of inequality are mutually constitutive and that sources of oppression are overlapping and dynamic. This paper applies a gendered and intersectional transformational approach, to highlight how social factors affect provision and utilization of vaccines for Newcastle disease (ND) and Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in the region of Kaffrine, Senegal. Findings indicate that actors’ (at national, regional and district levels, including animal health providers at community level) experiences are often defined by rigid gender norms, location and remoteness, and to a lesser degree by social stratifications of age, ethnicity, and livelihood.

Country gap report : Uganda Study
This country report provides background to launching value chain mapping of the pestes des petit ruminants (PPR) vaccine in the Karamoja sub-region in Uganda. The first stage will map the livestock vaccine value chain (LVVC) and will help determine how the PPR vaccine value chain (VVC) functions in terms of delivering vaccines and involving female livestock keepers, as well as the related attitudes and perceptions of various LVVC actors on women’s involvement. For instance, women farmers receive limited extension services and technical information compared to men (14% women vs. 30% men); extension services lack women’s involvement to determine their needs.

Country gap report : Nepal Study
The project focus is to determine how the current Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) vaccine value chain (VVC) functions in terms of delivering vaccines and involving female livestock keepers in the vaccine distribution value chain. It looks at how related attitudes and perceptions of various livestock vaccine value chain (LVVC) actors affect women’s involvement in the LVVC. Additionally, the mapping of the VVC is designed to capture how gender intersects with other identities of the women such as caste, ethnicity, age, wealth, education, religion, and livelihood.
