Abstract
The assessment identified various constraints to animal health service delivery, including pastoralists' nomadic lifestyle, limited animal health providers, and government policies that prioritize crop agriculture over livestock production. The brief highlights opportunities for improving livestock service delivery, including privatized community-based animal health systems and mobile platforms for data collection and reporting. The document also outlines key lessons learned and recommendations for addressing the identified constraints and scaling up opportunities.
