Animal health service delivery systems in Kenya's marginal areas under market liberalisation (pdf 195kb)

This brief is based on the results of a research project funded under the competitive grants program of the 2020 Vision Network for East Africa. One widely publicised initiative to refocus livestock health service delivery has been the introduction of community-based animal health workers (CBAHWs).

The project assesses the impact of this community-based approach on animal health service delivery, with the objective of evaluating it as a model of animal health delivery in arid lands of the developing world. This study was designed to help understand the nature, characteristics, and activities of CBAHW programs in marginal areas and their influence on livestock productivity.

This article addresses:
- The study focus area
- The modelling and analysis
- The sustainability of the project
- The relevance of the study findings to other countries
