when conducting advocacy in a rural Nandi, I have noticed that those campaigns that have the greatest impact are those that have involved our target audience throughout the communication process

have been thinking about the animal vaccination campaign that was rolled out https://t.co/oG0LEuTmrp interest of course is the communication angle and how the campaign was rolled out..In my opinion I think the campaign failed otherwise farmers would have vaccinated their cows.
Today stockyards are closed, at least from where I come from?No market wednesdays here! sad right😔 So what could have gone wrong? Why were farmers hesitant to vaccinate their cows. Is it poor messaging, lack of community engagement, or something deeper? Let’s break it down"
