Livestock form an important part of Uganda’s GDP with a big proportion of households deriving their livelihoods from the sector. However, pasture management and disease control especially Transboundary Animal Disease outbreaks have challenged productivity in the sector. Assessing animal movements and drivers, as well as economic impacts of TADs is necessary in order to generate well informed institutional responses and best TADs management options for better policy decisions. These issues are being studied in the western and eastern regions of Uganda. The study has only been initiated.
