Abstract: This study was set to examine the constraints of integrating paraprofessionals to the formal veterinary system in Uganda. The research design adopted in this study was qualitative. Process Influence-Net Map, pair-wise ranking and matrix scoring tools were used. Results show lack of political will, inadequate finance, weak veterinary institutions. The study reveals the best integration approach as the moderate integration system. It recommends that for paraprofessionals to be integrated as part of the veterinary system; the Veterinary Surgeon Act and paraprofessional bill needs to be passed, the Uganda veterinary board should be strengthened, veterinary service providers should be organized and trained.
