Script-Women-vaccinators-EN

In rural Bangladesh, 75% of farmers rear poultry in their backyards, mainly women. However, this vital income and protein source faces threats from emerging diseases, leading to high mortality rates due to poor hygiene and lack of vaccination. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO, and its Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases in collaboration with the Government of Bangladesh, implemented the Upazila to Community (U2C) program in 2016. This initiative trains women as poultry vaccinators, empowering them with independence and skills. The program also strengthens food security, increases farmers’ incomes, and improves rural livelihoods.
