Support for Improving Local Chicken Farming

In March 2025, the “Project to Support the Improvement of Traditional Chicken Farming Systems” was developed and submitted to GlobalGiving.

The overall objective of this project was to “contribute to the improvement of traditional farming systems by introducing high-performing breeding stock to five courageous and experienced farmers who lacked sufficient resources to develop their activities.”

Specifically, the project aimed to:

• Make poultry production semi-professional in the communities;

•  Improve the living conditions of farmers;
• Encourage consumers to appreciate local poultry products;
• Encourage farmers to adhere to basic farming practices;
• Strengthen producers’ ability to effectively manage their operations.

 The expected results of this project were as follows:

• Knowledge of traditional chicken farming techniques has been strengthened and appreciated;
• The conditions and system for raising traditional chickens have been improved;
• Avian diseases causing mortality have been further controlled;
• An increase in the number of chickens in the poultry houses has been observed;
• Data for the proper management of activities is being respected;
• Changes resulting from the activities are being recorded;
• Difficulties encountered are being identified and actions are being directed towards improving the quality of the activities;
• The collected or recovered manure is being used for composting to fertilize arable land.

However, since its publication, this project has not yet received funding.
