  • Better disease prevention and animal management will lead to healthier animals which are more productive. Farmers will get better outcomes and improve their overall well-being and financial security.
  • Improved appreciation for and trust in para-veterinary services will lead to farmers asking their local para-vets to help more quickly and more often when they have an animal health problem. Para-veterinarians will have more opportunity to treat animals and increase their income if farmers tell them about the sick animals
  • The village/community will be more productive and healthier (animals and people) through having healthier animals, satisfied farmers and less zoonotic disease.
  • The use of better skills in disease investigation, disease control, and reporting at local, District and Province levels will improve:
    • identification of diseases
    • surveillance for local disease needs with some information available to the national level
    • information to government to help share resources to reduce disease (i.e. vaccination programs) and the effects of disease within a District or Province
    • community economic benefits through having healthier animals
