Appealing Agency:
FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO)
Project title:
Support the animal vaccination efforts of the government in order to
strengthening the livestock affected directly or indirectly from the
effects of “El Niño”.
Sector:
Agriculture / Livestock
Overall Objective:
To support the livestock production in the “El Niño’s” affected
region, and improve the livestock health, through the implementation
of a vaccination campaign.
Specific Objective:
Vaccinate large or small ruminants in order to protect them from
recurrent diseases which treat their life and capacity of production in
these areas affected by “El Niño”.
Expected Outputs
At least 50’000 large ruminants have been vaccinated against the
most common diseases.
Target Beneficiaries:
Most vulnerable livestock owning households in Region Mara,
Mwanza, Shinyanga, Dodoma, Mbeya, Iringa of Tanzania whose
animals are affected directly or indirectly by the effects of “El Niño”.
Stakeholders:
MALF, FAO, district and local authorities.
Project Duration:
April - December 2016
Funds Requested
US$ 866’000
Summary
Due to the direct and indirect “El Niño’s” effects, a significant proportion of grazing land and
pastures have been lost or resulted in a poor quality reducing the fodder availability. In addition the
stagnant water became the breeding grounds for mosquitos transmitting various diseases, especially
the Rift Valley Fever. In order to strengthening the animal health and reduce the low productivity of
local breeds as well as enhance their reproduction capacity, large and small ruminants will be
vaccinated against various diseases. This vaccination campaign will strengthen the animal’s health
and ensure higher production of animal products (i.e. milk and meat), which will guarantee a
diversified nutritional base for the affected households, in addition to the generation of additional
income.
Activities
FAO will provide the required inputs for a vaccination campaign which will be implemented through
the existing governmental structures.
