Abstract:
This is the annual report of DCA-VET for 2009. The main objective of DCA-VET is to protect and improve the health of existing livestock and to increase livestock production in Afghanistan. To realise the objective, DCA-VET has developed programmes to: train paraveterinarians (paravets) and basic veterinary workers (BVWs); establish district-based veterinary field units (VFUs) throughout Afghanistan; provide for veterinary equipment, medicines and vaccines; support the sustainable delivery of animal health services at community level; support activities that enhance livestock production; support the integration of public and private veterinary services; and enhance the range of services the VFUs can offer to their clients as well as their earning capacity.
