This is a two year project that identified 31 community level volunteers from 31 communities in the northern region engaged in livestock farming and trained them as Animal Health Workers to support their communities in basic animal husbandry such as de-worming of animals, washing of wounds, castration of animals and serving as a link between the Veterinary Services Department of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) in reporting cases of animal diseases, and mobilizing farmers for national vaccination exercises. The project is funded by ActionAid Ghana with the Ministry of Food and Agriculture serving as the main collaborator in the implementation.
