A total of 30,979 goats and sheep in the Turkwel and Lobei/Kotaruk wards have been vaccinated, dewormed, and treated in an exercise jointly carried out by the County Government and the Turkana Pastoralist Development Organisation (TUPADO).
The vaccination campaign, which ran from January 13 to this week, is the second phase of an integrated emergency drought response project in partnership with IRC and funded by USAID through the Bureau of Humanitarian Assistance (BHA).
The project aims to protect and enhance food security, livelihoods, and nutritional outcomes for at least 24,000 individuals through animal health services.
To date, 1,698 individuals in 283 households have benefitted from the intervention.
