Gender blindness in agriculture and in the livestock sector in particular, continues to limit production in many rural areas, and evidence shows that the more gender inequality there is in […]| GALVmed
PREVENT is an initiative to establish an innovative and pragmatic veterinary health platform in Africa through hatchery vaccination. PREVENT comprises various workstreams that are connecting the key pieces to achieve this endgame.| GALVmed
Poultry diseases remain a persistent threat to small-scale chicken production in Africa. PREVENT used a two-pronged approach to enable medium-sized hatcheries in 11 sub-Saharan African countries to produce high-quality, vaccinated day-old chicks.| GALVmed

With a rapidly growing population and demand for animal-derived protein, enabling the veterinary sector to address the diverse needs and challenges of small-scale producers is not only possible, but also critical to Africa’s sustainable development.| GALVmed
High prevalence of livestock diseases is a major constraint to increasing farmers’ incomes and enhancing agricultural development, food security and resilience. Availability and accessibility of high-quality veterinary medicines are considered key to combating animal diseases and helping to curb economic losses, however, registering veterinary medicines in Africa through the currently established processes is cumbersome and time consuming. Additionally, there is no overarching framework or ...| GALVmed

As Africa endeavours to intensify its livestock production to meet food security goals, it is imperative to address these gender disparities to avoid unintended consequences and ensure equitable development.| GALVmed
By investing in women, we not only advance global goals such as food security and poverty eradication; we also build a more inclusive, sustainable world.| GALVmed
Livestock is a crucial source of income for small-scale livestock producers. Globally, it is estimated that around 78 per cent of the world’s poorest communities rely on agricultural work to support their livelihoods and households. However, livestock diseases represent $358.4 billion in lost production per year.| GALVmed
