Halting the Spread of Disease and Helping Livestock Farmers in Liberia
Halting the Spread of Disease and Helping Livestock Farmers in Liberia
The project was implemented in response to an outbreak in four counties of Liberia of Pestedes PetitsRuminants(PPR) or Sheep and Goat Plague, a devastating disease affecting small ruminants. A widespread vaccination programme was put in place, awareness raised on ways of stopping the spread of the disease and the resilience of farmers strengthened.
