The Women Rear project, a collaboration of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), CARE International and Cowtribe Technology Limited, is developing a model to improve access to vaccines for women livestock keepers in rural Ghana through a gender transformative approach and promotion of public-private partnerships.
The project addressed the identified constraints faced by women goat and chicken keepers in remote areas, and tested the effectiveness of new approaches, such as engaging women veterinarians and lead farmers, adopting digital technologies and using radio as a communication medium.
It also focused on addressing gender norms and improving the cold chain infrastructure in a package that combines technological and social innovations.
