Delivery and use of poultry vaccines in Uganda: A systems mapping and field-level study
REFNo: A655ES
Overall Aim
To map and analyse the poultry vaccine supply system in Uganda, examining both upstream supply chain structures and downstream use behaviours, in order to identify institutional, logistical, and behavioural barriers to effective, equitable, and sustainable vaccine-based disease prevention.

2. To examine institutional roles, interdependencies, and governance arrangements that influence vaccine regulation, quality control, and coordination.
3. To assess inequities in vaccine availability, cold chain access, pricing, and service delivery across geographic regions, institutional levels, and actor groups.
4. To co-develop stakeholder-informed recommendations for improving supply chain efficiency, regulatory coordination, and equitable vaccine access.
Part B: Field-level practices
1. To identify the most used poultry vaccines and their sourcing patterns at the farm level.
2. To evaluate compliance with recommended vaccine handling and administration practices among farmers, veterinary workers, and agro vets.
3. To explore behavioural drivers—including knowledge, perceptions, motivations, and decision-making—that influence vaccine uptake and misuse.
4. To assess the role of agro-vet shop interactions, veterinary advice, packaging/labelling, and social norms in shaping field-level behaviours.
