Resumen
Descripción
In Mali, peste des petits ruminants (PPR) constitutes a major health problem for small ruminants. The difficulty of
combating PPR stems from low vaccination coverage, which is mainly due to logistical challenges and limited
awareness of farmers about the benefits of vaccination. Using participatory approaches through the establishment
of 26 Innovation Platforms (IPs) at commune level in Sikasso, Koutiala, and Ségou regions, 211,893 sheep and
goats were vaccinated with the PPR thermotolerant vaccines for the benefit of 10,000 farmers.
