Introduction
2
Goats are essential livelihood resources for pastoral communities in Ethiopia.
Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) significantly impacts goat production, resulting in high mortality and morbidity.
Mortality rates exceeding 50% have been recorded during outbreaks of CCPP.
CCPP is endemic in Ethiopia, with a national prevalence of 25.7%.


3
Objectives
To design and test an innovative, effective, and efficient model for delivering the CCPP vaccine, led by the private sector. 

To enhance the availability of high-quality CCPP vaccines in the country.

To generate evidence for policy and institutional changes to support private-sector vaccine delivery for livestock diseases in Ethiopia.


4
Approach/Methodology


5
Obtain consent from authorities to proceed with CCPP vaccination program
Identification of intervention areas

Oromia Regional State, Borana zone (Yabello, Elwaye, Dubuluk, and Moyale districts).
Criteria for selection of intervention districts
Export corridor and access to market facilities.
High CCPP outbreak areas.
High goat population.
Willingness of pastoralists to pay for CCPP vaccine and vaccination services

Some pastoralists hesitated to bring their goats for vaccination because they were accustomed to receiving free vaccination services from the Government and NGOs.
Conflict of interest in a professional setting
Challenges

Lessons learned 
The messages shared by Aba Gedas and community elders were crucial in encouraging pastoral communities to bring their goats for vaccination.

The dedication of the Borena zone and district task forces was essential for successfully implementing the pilot project.

Effective community mobilization was key to the successful execution of the CCPP vaccination campaign. 




15
Conclusion and recommendation
Delivery of the CCPP vaccine through an innovative PPP Franchise Model was successfully implemented in Borena zone.
Pastoralists willingly covered the costs for the CCPP vaccine and the vaccination services.
CCPP vaccination has been scaled up by Borena Zone Administration
The evidence generated can assist policymakers in developing a national CCPP and other disease intervention strategies.
