Technical, economic and financial services; agroecology and innovation; policy dialogue; inclusive governance and accountability.
Improve the productivity, profitability and resilience of agroecological local chicken farming.
Implemented from November 2022 to December 2025 in the Centre and Adamaoua regions, with CNOP-CAM, AFDI, IRAD, CHASAADD-M and the AGREN and Friendship groups.
Who it serves
Participating poultry farmers and farmers’ organisations in both project areas.
Areas of work
Locally sourced feed, on-farm experiments, farmer exchanges and development of a training framework.
Documented results
AgriCord reports 31 experimental farms, of which 26 completed the programme, and around 150 people trained, 71% of them women. A 12-module training framework was developed. These findings concern the project sites; economic viability still needs consolidation.
