Resumen
Descripción
The project aimed to enhance One Health and biosecurity practices at farm level by improving service providers’ technical skills and knowledge in this area. It would do this by confronting three challenges: i) the growing One Health and biosecurity risks to which smallholder farmers are particularly vulnerable; ii) weak information exchange and outreach to smallholder farmers; and iii) gender-specific challenges and risks for service providers and smallholder farmers. The project would target primarily veterinary paraprofessionals in East Africa, West Africa and the Pacific, with pilot activities in Nigeria, Samoa and Uganda. The project would also implement specific activities on Female Leadership and One Health, recognizing that female VPPs and CHWs can be an effective channel for reaching female farmers.
