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.

VAHW training : a facilitation manual to train village animal health workers working with the livestock vaccine value chain focused on gendered intersectional transformative approaches - Nepal

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

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).

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.

National COVID-19 regulations : impacts on livestock vaccinations, veterinary services, and research activities in Nepal, Senegal, and Uganda

National COVID-19 regulations : impacts on livestock vaccinations, veterinary services, and research activities in Nepal, Senegal, and Uganda

Article

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.

Gender and intersectional analysis of livestock vaccine value chains in Kaffrine, Senegal

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.

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.

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.
