Meeting Recommendations and PPtx

To LIFT:Project Reports

FAO: Routine reports

Govt: ongoing process, no formal reports

Discussions CAHWs service need to provide more vaccinations in

pig, sheep and goat (now only 30% and 25%) Weak knowledge of vaccination in pig, sheep and goat

and understanding of farmers on the impact of theanimal diseases are unclear

5% of deworming cases in cattle and low percentage ofcastration and operation services in pig, sheep and goat

CAHWs skill, knowledge and capability of diseaseawareness and reporting are still need to bestrengthened

CAHWs need to be increased rural livestock productivityand supporting to LBVD’s role on animal health anddisease control measures

Conclusions & RecommendationsCAHWs provide services should be regulated in

future plan by LBVDNeed to promote the skills of CAHWs if we

would like to fully apply the capacity of CAHWs.Moves ahead with a process, in consultation

with stakeholders, to establish the regulatoryframework and associated operationalguidelines for CAHWs.

Rules, roles, responsibilities, incentives,penalties and renewal should be regarded inregulatory framework to oversee and providesupport to the work of the CAHWs.

Conclusions & RecommendationsNew training curriculum should be established

for duties and responsibilities of CAHWs byLBVD and provided by supervision of Vets.

The LBVD, in establishing the regulatoryframework, includes the certification of CAHWwithin the context of a Technical and VocationalTraining (TVET) system for the livestock sector.

The FAO-LIFT livestock project will take leadingrole in providing technical assistance toestablish the regulatory framework includingdrafting training program based on TVET systemrequirements.
