Facilitator,
I started "One Village One Poultry Vet" Project - a socio-economic intensification programme to improve poultry production for dietary and economic benefits in western Kenya- Busia county in particular and it is successful.
Started with 20 small holder households in December 2016 and now targeting 200 farmers in two villages and there are positive results. Utilizing indigenous nutritional literacy content and building on it in a life long learning model has helped in the uptake of indigenous poultry as compared to the costly exotic poultry rearing.
Eating eggs by children is no longer a reserve for when they visit their grandmothers, or during ceremonies but has been picked up in family diets because of improved production in our intesification model.
