Small livestock are a pathway out of poverty and source of economic and gender empowerment, and yet, for millions of small-scale producers, these very important assets are threatened by diseases.

Goats, sheep, pigs, chickens. These are some of the small livestock that are giving millions of people opportunities.

Obtaining approval to sell veterinary medicines in the market requires a marketing authorisation (licence) from the National Regulatory Authority in each country where the product is to be sold.

In 2020, Oxford Policy Management (OPM) was contracted by GALVmed to implement an intervention and conduct an associated impact study on the adoption of a Newcastle Disease Vaccine (NDV) by small-scale poultry farmers in rural Tanzania in the districts of Chemba and Mbozi.

Impact is an important topic for any philanthropic organisation and GALVmed is putting this topic front and centre of our agenda for 2022.
