**Organizational Setting**

As part of FAO’s effort to strengthen One Health workforce at community level, NSAH-CJW is implementing the project “Empowering veterinary paraprofessional entrepreneurs”, in Uganda, Nigeria and South Africa. This project builds on a first phase of implementation between 2021-2023 and aims to deliver and evaluate a model for sustainable last mile animal health service delivery through capacity development of private sector veterinary paraprofessionals (VPPs), and by addressing bottlenecks within the business environment. Gender-sensitive programming is an essential part of the project. Women make up 60% of poor smallholder livestock farmers and are therefore a key target group for last mile animal health services.

The project is centred around four complementary outcomes:

- Outcome 1: Strengthened veterinary paraprofessional businesses providing gender responsive preventive healthcare services
- Outcome 2: Increased pool of continuous professional development compliant and registered veterinary paraprofessionals
- Outcome 3: Improved business climate for veterinary paraprofessionals
- Outcome 4: Increased awareness of private sector primary animal healthcare veterinary paraprofessional business model for improved access to animal health services

In South Africa, the project will train 60 currently unemployed animal health technicians (AHTs) with the aim of empowering and supporting them to establish their own small businesses serving rural livestock farming communities by providing primary animal healthcare services, focussing on preventive interventions. This will be the second cohort of AHTs to be trained in South Africa by the project. The rules governing the work of AHTs in South Africa were changed in December 2022, allowing them to operate private primary animal health care facilities for the first time.

The training follows a blended learning model, providing a mix of online learning, face to face workshops, work placements, mentorship, coaching and guided assignments. The face-to-face workshops will be delivered by partner training institutes and these institutes will work collaboratively with FAO to develop the planning and materials for each workshop.

**Reporting Lines**

Under the overall supervision of the Assistant FAOR and the direct supervision of the VPP Project Country Coordinator and Assistant Coordinator.

**Technical Focus**
