1. Scaling up the delivery of the Infection and Treatment Method (ITM) in Tanzania
--Theory of change by stakeholders and actors of the ITM delivery chain in Tanzania--
What to do..
Synthesize the current status of ITM delivery
Develop and roll out sensitization and awareness programs
Improve vaccine delivery
Engage existing & new distributors to expand the distributional reach of the vaccine
Facilitate the creation of a new training framework
Facilitate production of liquid nitrogen, including from public and private owned plants
Consult with PANVAC certificate and engage CTTBD to get sufficient doses, on time
Monitor progress and make required changes in interventions
With whom
Women & men cattle farmers
Vaccinators
Local government (DVO, livestock extension)
Agro vet shop owners
Producer organizations
AI distributors & inseminators
Existing and new distributors
Liquid nitrogen suppliers (public & private)
Regional and central government bodies
Regulators including DVS, VCT, TVLA,TFDA
Media and other information dissemination mechanisms
PANVAC, CTTBD, LTR
GalvMed, ILRI
So that.. Short term changes
Women and men cattle farmers, and other stakeholders are aware of ITM’s benefits
Service quality and business orientation of vaccinators has increased
Distributors and vaccinators are working with producer organizations agro vet shops other service providers
Producers organizations and agro vets promote ITM technology
Liquid nitrogen supply is improved
The relevant stakeholders agree on a unified curriculum for ITM vaccinator training
The relevant stakeholders agree on a revised process to deliver vaccinators’ training and provide certification
The CTTBD vaccine is registered in Tanzania
So that.. Medium term changes
More women and men cattle farmers use ITM and increase their livestock productivity and income
Vaccinators are available and operate in more areas; have good technical and business skills
Vaccinators see cattle farmers as customers and provide quality services
Distributors cover a larger area and increase their reach, allowing more cattle farmers to access ITM
Government and politicians fully support the technology and appropriate quality control systems are in place
The market for ITM is quantified
Farm & community levels
Country & regional levels
A1. Sufficient ITM doses are available and affordable
A5. Farmers are willing to pay for the new technology
A7. Potential vaccinators willing to co -share the training cost
A3. Key players will not change
M&E
Assumptions:
A2. There is sufficient demand for livestock to absorb the increase in off-take rates
A4. Conducive policy environment
A6. There will be limited negative environmental impact
A8. AI value chain actors see the benefit of including ITM
