Introduction

The 3-year Ethnovet Project (October 2019–September 2022), funded by Misereor/KZE (Catholic Central Agency for Development Aid, Germany) is being implemented by the Association of Church-based Development Projects(ACDEP), an NGO in northern Ghana. It is working in four districts in the Northern, North East and Upper East Regions of Ghana with four Ghanaian partner institutions:

• Animal Research Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR-ARI)
• Veterinary Services Department of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA),
• Pong-Tamale Central Veterinary Laboratory, and
• Animal Science Department of the University for Development Studies.

The Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPA) is the international technical backstopper of the project.
