This toolkit was developed with the support of the project Sustainable Business in Animal Health Service Provision through training for Veterinary Paraprofessionals. It provides guidance, and details the step-by-step process for developing a country-specific animal health Veterinary Paraprofessional (VPP) competency framework. The described methodology was piloted in 2022 in Uganda, Nigeria and South Africa. The lessons learned from the pilot experience are incorporated into this toolkit to provide a clear methodology for other countries wishing to develop their own tailored competency framework for veterinary paraprofessionals.
