The US Agency for International Development awarded a $1.49 million project grant to the International Livestock Research Institute to assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of livestock vaccination programs conducted in response to humanitarian crises in West, East and Southern Africa. The grant also supports an evaluation of participatory disease surveillance methods in Mongolia. Funded under the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas program (CFDA #98.001), the International Livestock Research Institute will deliver these services from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024. The Foreign Assistance program aims to advance long-term economic growth and development through global health, agriculture, and democracy initiatives, so this award aligns with those objectives by evaluating public health interventions for livestock and participatory surveillance techniques.

The program goal is to both assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of livestock vaccination conducted in response to humanitarian crises in west, east and southern africa and to conduct an evaluation of participatory disease surveillance in mongolia.
