39 Discussions CAHWs service need to provide more vaccinations in pig, sheep and goat (now only 30% and 25%) Weak knowledge of vaccination in pig, sheep and goat and understanding of farmers on the impact of the animal diseases are unclear 5% of deworming cases in cattle and low percentage of castration and operation services in pig, sheep and goat CAHWs skill, knowledge and capability of disease awareness and reporting are still need to be strengthened CAHWs need to be increased rural livestock productivity and supporting to LBVD s role on animal health and disease control measures

40 Conclusions & Recommendations CAHWs provide services should be regulated in future plan by LBVD Need to promote the skills of CAHWs if we would like to fully apply the capacity of CAHWs. Moves ahead with a process, in consultation with stakeholders, to establish the regulatory framework and associated operational guidelines for CAHWs. Rules, roles, responsibilities, incentives, penalties and renewal should be regarded in regulatory framework to oversee and provide support to the work of the CAHWs.

41 Conclusions & Recommendations New training curriculum should be established for duties and responsibilities of CAHWs by LBVD and provided by supervision of Vets. The LBVD, in establishing the regulatory framework, includes the certification of CAHW within the context of a Technical and Vocational Training (TVET) system for the livestock sector. The FAO-LIFT livestock project will take leading role in providing technical assistance to establish the regulatory framework including drafting training program based on TVET system requirements.
