Bill Gates Funded LastMile app connecting farmers to animal healthcare solutions

“LastMile” app, is a new animal health solutions service aimed at making animal medical resources available in hard-to-reach areas to help livestock farmers in Kenya access essential extension services from their mobile phones with ease.

LastMile initiative targets ruminants, such as sheep, goats along with cattle, and poultry.

Established by Boehringer Ingelheim, with support from the Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines (GALVmed) and funded by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, “LastMile” aims to bridge current gaps in access, availability, and awareness of animal healthcare solutions for smallholder farmers in Africa.

The program’s mission is to create long-lasting partnerships with the local farming community in an effort to establish and drive sustainable businesses that are integrated into the wider national economy.

LastMile was initially launched in Kenya, Cameroon, Nigeria, Mali, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia, and is set to be launched in Tanzania.

With “LastMile” users are now able to manage their day-to-day activities and work more effectively with farmers, retailers and veterinarians. The app will help monitor the activities accurately, collect data, measure the impact and reach of the initiative, as well as to improve the understanding and knowledge about the smallholder farmer sector for better-informed decision-making in the future.

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the project funder, and GALVmed, will also benefit from this app, as more accurate KPI data related to the project will be available.
