About this Publication:

In this study, we depart from the norm of government, donor agencies and NGO-led programmes of poverty alleviation and focus on multi-party models of extending coverage for ND vaccines, where the private sector also plays a major role. In the case of vaccination for backyard poultry birds, the private sector is better placed than the government sector to meet the demand for ND vaccination because of the developed infrastructure serving the industrial poultry sector.
