Since 2021, the PREVENT initiative has been transforming poultry farming in Africa. Hatchery vaccination has provided healthier, more resilient chicks to small-scale producers, boosting productivity and improving food security and livelihoods. As the initiative comes to a close soon, its impact continues to drive lasting change in the sector. PREVENT has been a catalyst for innovation, empowerment and sustainability.

In 2021, Ceva Animal Health teamed with GALVmed, with the support of the Gates Foundation, to implement PREVENT. Between 2021 and 2025, 37 hatcheries in 11 countries produced 202 million day-old chicks, creating a net economic benefit of $43 million over the course of the project.
Mentoring has the power to positively impact everyone involved, as evidenced by an initiative to mentor field technicians in Tanzania to provide inclusive veterinary extension to small-scale poultry producers.
Gender gaps in men and women’s access to resources, inputs and services mean their work in agricultural value chains falls far short of their potential in terms of scale, productivity, and output, causing huge costs …

Women make up at least 43 per cent of the agricultural labour force in developing countries, but they are restricted by social norms and lack of access to resources which may enable them to benefit from digital services.
GALVmed continues to collaborate with partners and key public and private stakeholders to transform the lives of small-scale producers across Africa and South Asia through improved animal health.
With a rapidly growing population and demand for animal-derived protein, enabling the veterinary sector to address the diverse needs and challenges of small-scale producers is not only possible, but also critical to Africa’s sustainable development.
