Programme report · updated continuously
The Private Veterinary Support Programme supports smallholder livestock farmers through privately owned veterinary premises. Each registered veterinarian works with community animal health workers attached to the premise, and the programme provides the inputs, equipment and logistics that make delivery possible.
Every figure on this page is calculated from a record made at the farm, carrying a photograph taken on the device, a satellite position and the exact time of the visit. Nothing here is entered by hand at reporting level.
Smallholder livestock farmers are often beyond the reach of formal animal-health services. The Private Veterinary Support Programme addresses this by working through privately owned veterinary premises already established in rural areas, and equipping them to reach the farms around them.
A registered veterinarian owns and supervises each participating premise. Attached to that premise is a team of para-veterinarians and community animal health workers who deliver services at the farm under the veterinarian's supervision. The programme supplies the vaccines, medicines, consumables, equipment and logistics that make delivery possible.
Each farmer is registered with a supervising premise before any service is delivered, with their consent recorded at the point of collection. Farmer records include the livestock held, so services can be planned against the animals that are actually there.
Selected states operate first, each with participating veterinary premises and their field teams. The system is built so that additional states and local government areas can be brought in without redevelopment.
Farmers registered and served, disaggregated by sex; veterinary services delivered across fourteen service categories; animals attended by species; and the inputs, equipment and logistics supplied to each premise and drawn down against recorded services.
Every figure published here originates in a record made at the farm by a named service provider, carrying a photograph taken on the device, a satellite position and the time of capture. Programme staff can open any individual record and inspect its evidence. This page publishes only the totals.
Services are recorded against a farmer already registered with the premise, so each intervention attaches to a known household rather than a name written afterwards.
Coordinates and their accuracy are taken by the device at the moment the photograph is captured, at the farm.
Taken on the camera and stamped with the date, time, place and coordinates. An existing image cannot be attached — the application has no way to reach one.
The moment of capture on the device and the moment the record reached the server are both stored, so work done where there is no network stays explainable.
Every record carries the identity of the veterinarian, para-veterinarian or community animal health worker who delivered the service, and the premise that supervises them.
A record cannot be edited or deleted after saving. Corrections are made by recording a further visit, so the history of what was reported remains intact.
Farmer names, contact details, photographs, farm coordinates and the identities of individual service providers are never published and cannot be retrieved through this page.
Personal information is collected only after the farmer's consent has been read aloud and confirmed, with the date and time of that consent stored alongside the record. It is held in a secured database with access restricted by role: a participating premise can see only its own farmers and records, and detailed records are visible solely to authorised programme staff.
A farmer may request access to, correction of, or removal of their household's records through the programme.
