Foot and Mouth Disease Vaccine Project

The AgResults Foot and Mouth Disease Vaccine Challenge Project is an eight-year, US$15.8 million prize competition that encourages the development and uptake of high-quality FMD vaccines tailored to meet the needs of Eastern Africa. The prize is structured as a cost-share that reduces the cost-per-dose for buyers, enabling public and private sector actors to better combat FMD through more consistent purchases of the new vaccines. In this way, the project can create a market around an effective solution that will improve animal health and strengthen farmer livelihoods.
