We wish to:
Assess the impact, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of these vaccination programmes
1. to provide widely relevant guidance on design and implementation
2. to develop evaluation methods/guidelines which can then be used by others
So we intend to cover a range of programmes
- Potentially considering:
- Country
- Disease/vaccination
- Species/livestock system
- Crisis/vaccination programme design
- Implementor type (NGO, government?)
- But we must not spread ourselves too thinly
Which programmes to evaluate?

3. 3
- Eastern, Southern and Western Africa - countries considered include:
- Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Karamoja (Uganda- is there much
vaccination?), Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Malawi,
Mozambique, Madagascar
- Will need to be pragmatic
- Consider scale and importance of these programmes in that country but
also
- Do we have a willing partner to work with (we understand possible
sensitivities and will accommodate this) [key to success]
- Where can we operate effectively and efficiently (ethics approvals, ILRI
capacity, logistics, feasibility)
- Donor priorities
Where

4. 4
Suggested disease focus:
- Pasteurellosis/Haemorrhagic Septicaemia, RVF, FMD, Anthrax, Black leg (bivalent
Anthrax/BL), CBPP, LSD, PPR, CCPP, SG Pox
- What should we prioritise (most important for these programmes)?
- Good to get a mix of endemics and TADs
- Again we may need to be opportunistic and pragmatic
Species:
- Cattle, small ruminant, camel
Systems:
- Pastoralist, smallholder…
What

Questions

6. 6
1. Discuss – which countries should we focus on (list priorities in order in East, West,
Southern Africa)
From:
- Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Karamoja (Uganda), Niger, Mali,
Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Madagascar
- Justify your choice
- Are there programmes willing to work with us?
2. Which disease/vaccine do we assess: (put in order of priority from
Pasteurellosis/haemorrhagic septicaemia, RVF, FMD, anthrax, black leg
(bivalent Anthrax/BL), CBPP, LSD, PPR, CCPP, SG pox
- Justify your choice
3. Any other suggestions (species, livestock system…) – we welcome all thoughts
