A new animal health and livestock training network for sub-Saharan Africa. Validated RNRRS Output.
One of 280 summaries describing outputs from the projects run by DFID's 10-year Renewable Natural Resources Research Strategy
Abstract
This is one of 280 summaries describing key outputs from the projects run by DFID's 10-year Renewable Natural Resources Research Strategy (RNRRS) programmes.
Associated with Projects R7597, R7596, R8151, R8022, R8208, R8042, R7173, R7987, R7229, R7357, R5406, R8318. A new network of African universities is being developed to produce teaching materials for disseminating the results of DFID-funded research into animal health and livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. It aims to overcome the fact that the massive amount of DFID-funded research done to improve animal health and livestock keeping has had very little impact—mainly because new knowledge simply isn't reaching the people who need it. The African Universities' Veterinary ELearning Consortium (AUVEC) therefore aims to provide bite-sized, easy-to-revise, distance-learning materials that animal health professionals can use to regularly update their knowledge and skills. This developing network consists of veterinary departments and veterinary bodies in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi.
The CD has the following information for this output: Description, Validation, Current Situation, Current Promotion, Impacts on Poverty, Environmental Impact. Attached PDF (10 pp.) taken from the CD.
