September~ NIDOS

What is GALVmed?

• The Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines

• A Private Public Partnership

• Funded internationally, taking research from wherever it is best in the world seeking, where practicable, to produce and deliver from within Africa and South Asia

• Short term achievable goals, small footprint, driven by sustainability

We are currently funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, DFID and the European Union

What is our focus?

• To make a sustainable difference in the access to animal health medicines by poor livestock keepers (in support of the MDGs)

• To develop, register and launch 4 to 6 vaccine, pharmaceutical or diagnostic products by 2015 ( minimum targets)

• To work with partner agencies in developing countries to ensure sustainable research, production and delivery of these new products to poor livestock keepers

Challenges to availability of appropriate new products

Discovery Research Development Registration Production Commer-

cialisationSustained delivery

Technical challenges.

Lack of appropriate product profiles

Ill-designed proofs-of-concept

Lack of funding for development studies - high risk, high cost.

Poorly designed, poorly controlledfield trials.

Unclear and varied regulatory requirements.

Lack of QA/QC.

Multiple regulatory authorities.

Lack of market pull-through

Poor estimates of need or demand

Inappropriate pack-sizes

Lack of knowledge or education on proper use

Inconsistent supply

Counterfeit products.

Lack of patent protection.

Poor quality and efficacy.

Our role is to facilitate leadership to overcome these challenges through creating partnerships

No commercial interest

Expensive processes

No process development

“ Before I became a buck keeper, I would never even be acknowledged or invited to a public meeting. Now I am not just invited but even given the opportunity to speak. I have been lifted from the ground to somewhere.”

Intellectual AssetsThe main purpose of GALVmed’s IAmanagement is to ensure that Global Access is achieved

Ensuring that our investments into projects and technologies dobenefit the poor farmers for whom livestock is a lifeline

The risk we face if we fail to do properly manage IA

– Lack of control of the fruits of our own investments, others reap the benefits

– In the long run we fail to achieve our objectives

– Weakening organizational strength

Self-determination through livestock“I was so poor after my husband died that I was almost a beggar……. Today I am confident and earn money daily - I am a community animal health worker. I have 12 goats, several chickens and I’ve just bought a donkey to carry water.

My children are all at school and I am hoping my eldest boy will become a doctor. I don’t need a husband to support me now.”
