2. The USAID Project Duration: 2 years July 2015-December 2017
Grant: US$1.0 million
Partners
Government of Tanzania-DVS, VCT, TVLA, LITA
GALVmed
Distributors-Pharmavacs, Vet Life Consultants, Dulle Veterinary Centre, Ronheam International
Other partners-to be identified during project implementation

3. Rationale ECF is a major constraint to livestock productivity in ECA
Annual economic loses in Tanzania estimated to be:
Smallholder dairy-US$4.4million (Minjauw and McLeod 2003)
Pastoral and agropastoral-US$ 129.5million (Minjauw and McLeod 2003)
Annual losses from all TBD-US$364 (ECF accounted for 68%-248m) (Kivaria et al. 2006)
Does not include “fear of ECF”

4. Rationale Available control options have serious limitations
Tick control –acaricide resistance, Environmentally harmful, management
Chemotherapy-high cost, early diagnosis necesssary
Zero-grazing-not absolute, not feasible in some areas
ITM has been shown to reduce mortality to less than 2% in all production systems (Di Giulio et al.2009)
Although up to 1.0million cattle in Tanzania have been immunised this is less t than 5% of the population or 8% of the cattle at risk
Why is adoption so slow?

5. Main challenges with the current delivery
Limited coverage by existing distributors-2 at the start of the project
Few Trained vaccinators
Vaccinators lacking equipment-lack of financing mechanisms
Limited cold chain infrastructure-LN, refrigeration (or too long a chain)
Inadequate business orientation-Less 10% active vaccinators
Limited awareness or incorrect information about the vaccine

6. Addressing challenges with the current delivery
In collaboration with GALVmed Recruited 3 additional distributors
Vetlife-Mbeya
Dulle Vet-Iringa
Pharmavacs-Lake zone
Distributor Reports
Limited coverage by existing distributors

7. Addressing challenges with the current delivery
Trained 200 new vaccinators
Standardised training
Certification, Identification of vaccinators
Distributors, VCT, LITA
Few Trained vaccinators

8. Addressing challenges with the current delivery
Vaccinator Incentive scheme
Vaccinators lacking equipment/Financing mechanisms

9. Addressing challenges with the current delivery
Limited cold chain infrastructure-LN, refrigeration (or too long a chain)
Public-Private Partnership for Artificial Insemination Delivery (PAID

10. Addressing challenges with the current delivery
Limited awareness or incorrect information about the vaccine
Farmer sensitisation- village meetings
Media, radio etc.
Farmer groups meetings
Distributor reports

11. Addressing challenges with the current delivery
In spite of all these efforts, vaccinations are very few
