Target Groups

Unintended Impacts

Mitigation Measures

Women in informal livestock market activities

·       Increased time burden from meetings and coordination roles;

·       Risk of token participation without real influence;

·       Potential backlash or restrictions from household or market power dynamics.

·       Schedule meetings at convenient times and locations;

·       Ensure women hold meaningful leadership roles with decision power;

·       Engage male leaders and market authorities to support women’s participation;

·       Provide safe spaces for women’s voices (e.g., women-only pre-meetings).

Youth and young livestock entrepreneurs in remote and hard-to-reach communities

·       Risk of being used mainly as unpaid mobilizers;

·       Frustration if promised business opportunities do not materialize;

·       Exclusion from decisions due to age hierarchies.

·       Define clear roles and fair incentives for youth participation;

·       Link IP engagement to concrete opportunities (training, service contracts, pilots);

·       Include youth representatives in IP leadership;

·       Provide mentorship and visibility for youth contributions.

Pastoralists and transhumant herders from low-income and resource-constrained households

·       Continued exclusion if IPs remain sedentary and meeting-based;

·       Vaccination schedules still misaligned with mobility patterns;

·       Adapt participation methods (mobile coordination, representation through pastoralist leaders);

·       Align vaccination points with transhumance routes and market days;

·       Ensure balanced representation in IP governance; frame IPs as service coordination platforms, not enforcement bodies;

·       Use trusted intermediaries for engagement.

Barriers to adoption

Mitigation Measures

Women in informal livestock market activities

·       Limited time due to care and market work;

·       Low representation in decision-making spaces;

·       Limited access to finance and formal networks;

·       Low access to information on vaccination schedules and benefits.

·       Schedule IP meetings at convenient times and locations;

·       Set minimum targets for women’s representation in IP leadership;

·       use women’s groups and market associations for outreach;

·       link women to microfinance and input suppliers; tailor communication channels (local radio, peer educators).

Youth and young livestock entrepreneurs in remote and hard-to-reach communities

·       Limited capital and assets to engage in service delivery;

·       Weak networks and low credibility with established actors;

·       High costs of accessing markets and services due to distance;

·       Limited technical skills.

·       Provide entry points for youth in IP roles (mobilization, logistics, service support);

·       Link youth to training, mentorship, and starter finance;

·       Use IPs to connect youth to markets and service contracts;

·       Support mobile or digital outreach to reduce distance barriers.

Pastoralists and transhumant herders from low-income and resource-constrained households

·       Mobility makes it hard to attend fixed meetings and vaccination points;

·       Vaccination schedules not aligned with migration routes;

·       Low trust in formal services due to past exclusion.

·       Adapt IP participation mechanisms (mobile representatives, coordination across communes);

·       Align vaccination schedules with transhumance calendars;

·       Establish vaccination points along routes and markets; explore targeted subsidies or flexible payment options;

·       Use trusted intermediaries (pastoralist leaders, herder associations) for engagement.
