| description | Decisions about how to prevent and treat livestock disease are often negotiated between household members. Animal health interventions target livestock-rearing households but information about the decision-making of men and women and how it influences utilization of animal health best practices including veterinary services is limited. This qualitative study used focus group discussions to assess the effects of gender dynamics on intra-household decision-making regarding utilization of preventive and curative veterinary services in communities affected by Rift Valley fever in Kenya and Uganda. Three household headship structures were considered: male headed, <i>de facto</i> female headed, and <i>de jure</i> female headed. Although their decision-making capacities differed depending on household headship, men were the primary decision-makers on vaccine use while women had some leeway in making decisions on livestock treatment depending on the local context. Understanding gender roles within livestock health management can be used to inform policies and improve animal health interventions. |
