Background Information
Livestock in northern Ghana are both a safety net and a source of food and income for rural households. But diseases like Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), Newcastle disease, and African Swine Fever can wipe out entire herds in weeks, leaving families without livelihood. Limited veterinary services and a lack of farmer training often mean outbreaks are detected too late, causing avoidable losses.
Recognizing this, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with funding from the European Union (EU), has trained almost 80 veterinary personnel and district agricultural directors from six districts on how to better prevent, detect, and control animal diseases while promoting safer farming practices. The six-day Training of Trainers (ToT), held in Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region and Tamale in the Northern Region, brought together veterinary technical officers, district and regional veterinary officers, and district directors of agriculture from six districts: Bunkpurugu-Nakpanduri, Bongo, Kassena Nankana West, Central Gonja, North Gonja, and North East Gonja.
The training combined classroom learning with hands-on practice, covering key areas such as the prevention and control of transboundary animal diseases; early warning systems, disease surveillance and reporting; farm-level health safety for poultry, pigs, and small ruminants; responsible use of antibiotics to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR); parasite management and farmer advisory skills.
