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.
