Voices from the Field is our blog repository, featuring stories, interviews, and articles that highlight fieldwork, challenges, and innovations from our work and areas of focus.
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.
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.
