For the 450 million women smallholder livestock farmers around the world who rely on livestock for their livelihood, a lack of access to livestock vaccines is devastating. High livestock mortality creates a cycle of poverty and disempowerment. Much of the research on livestock vaccine systems has not addressed the gender-based limitations preventing women from participating effectively.

This event highlights four projects supported by the Livestock Vaccine Innovation Fund that have used gender transformative approaches to identify barriers and generate new evidence to effectively position women smallholder livestock farmers to participate in and benefit from livestock vaccine value chains.
