1 A Value Chain Approach to Family Poultry Development as a Tool for Sustainable Poverty Reduction E. B. Sonaiya Department of Animal Sciences Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria 05/10/2016 1

2 What is in a Name? Local = Indigenous? Chicken = Poultry? Local poultry? Rural Poultry? Village Poultry? Family Poultry? Smallholder Poultry? 05/10/2016 2

3 Assumptions of a Family Poultry Model 1. Family flocks are small enough to find all their feed needs on the range; 2. Supplements are used to maintain the 'homing' instinct; 3. Family flocks serve multi-purposes but sale is acceptable; 4. Genetic diversity is unlimited (Na, Fr, Dw, B/W feathers); 5. All flocks are owner-managed and all production systems can be adopted. 6. All operators and units adopt free market principles. 3

5 Family Poultry for Food security Family Poultry 1. Local chicken 2. Local layer ducks 3. Muscovy ducks 4. Quails Meat and Egg 05/10/2016 5

6 Main Problems in FP Development: 1. Meat and egg production increases but farm family protein consumption remains the same (i.e. lack of nutrition awareness, and low purchasing power) 2. Low production efficiency of the system 3. Low technology input by the farmers 05/10/2016 6

20 Family Poultry development projects in some African countries (after Fakhrul Islam and Jabbar, 2003) Project Objectives Activities Cameroon/LSDP To increase meat and milk production and raise the incomes of poor livestock Malawi/MSPPM Republic of Benin herders. Support of small-scale poultry enterprises to the poorest segment, especially women To improve livelihoods through improvement of traditional village poultry i. Formation of poultry and dairy producer groups (esp. women). ii. Credit for semi-intensive poultry production. iii. Vaccination campaigns against ND. iv. Privatization of animal health care. v. Provision of training in health and husbandry practices; and credit Training of village vaccinators, support to construct hen houses, training of poultry producers, access to a micro-credit scheme LSDP- Livestock Sector Development Project, MSPPM- Malawi Smallholder Poultry Production Model 20

21 4 Critical Project Elements Credit; rates, repayment Market development Mortality rates, vaccination Feed; availability, costs. Training The IFAD review concluded that there is a need for development projects to continue introducing new technologies by which an increased level of profit can be achieved from smallholder semiintensive poultry-rearing. 21

22 Scavenging poultry Development in Benin CHRYSOSTÔME Christophe, RIISE Jens Christian & Frederic HOUNDONOUGBO 05/10/

23 The Poultry Development strategy involved: Suitable micro-credit system; Technical services (training and coordination); Benin Smallholder Poultry Development Model Provision of veterinary services and inputs Poultry Rearer 8 Local Hens 1-2 Local males Village (40 Poultry Rearers) Poultry Worker (2 per Village) Vaccination Support Institutions Private sector Input Suppliers Feed, Point of lay pullets Vaccines, Medicines Solidarity groups 5 Poultry Rearers per group and 8 groups per Village Group Activities Meetings Savings / repayment Training Poultry Seller Marketing support Group support Group formation Training By NGO Credit System by NGO Scientific advice: Univ A-C and Danish Network 05/10/

24 Micro Credit Concept and Components Depending on the activities (poultry rearer (PR), village vaccinator (VV), poultry seller - PS) each member was provided with a small loan of 30,000 FCFA (50 USD) for PR and 25,000 FCFA for VV and PS. The repayment period was 1 year for PR and 6 months for VV and PS. The interest rate was 12% per semester while the rate of saving was 18% per semester. The penalty for defaulting was 2% per month on the capital remaining due. 05/10/

26 Lessons Learnt from Benin Monitor and develop markets for live birds Apply research on the use of locally available feed resources for poultry and develop simple guidelines Support local craftsmen to make available equipments (e.g. baskets, drinkers, feeders) Set up an adequate ND control program Promote the consumption of eggs 05/10/

27 Village poultry Development in Sénégal - Pilot Phase COLUFIFA POGV2 Danish Network Vélos pour le Sénégal DANIDA IFAD 05/10/

28 Overall objective A village poultry production model that will: improve the livelihoods of the target families and empower the women involved. Specific objectives to increase income from poultry in the target group to increase involvement of women in decision making in the villages to build capacity in the implementing organisation, COLUIFA Target group 240 households in 8 villages, mainly poor women. 05/10/

29 Project Funds Allocations (Or How Not to Spend Project Money!) Total funds available: approx. 150,000 USD. Salaries for NGO personnel (4) and local agents (8) (31%) Deposits and revolving fund for farmers opening accounts (11%) Training of trainers and farmers (18%) Materials for equipment (1%) NGO Capacity building (16%) Baselines, Monitoring and Evaluation (23%) 05/10/

30 Preparations Preparations started with 1. Village sensitisation 2. Meetings with possible partners: Financial institutions Private vets Vétérinaires Sans Frontières ISRA Ecole d agriculture (CNFTAGR) Local politicians 05/10/

31 Selection of beneficiaries: Poor women Sensitisation workshops for the président(e)s and village agents Participatory selection of poverty criteria in each community The village chose 30 female bénéficiaries, 1 village agent and 1 VVV, PARTICIPATION IS OWNERSHIP! 05/10/

32 Capacity building in the villages Sensibilisation Group organisation Technical Training, Farmer Field Schools Training in savings and credit Weekly or bi-weekly follow-up 05/10/

33 Lessons Learned in Sénégal Village poultry production is increased, (when) Newcastle Diease is under control. Marketing of products should be better organised. The solidarity groups of five women each empowered and organised women in the villages The annual interest rate of 24% on credits should be reduced The veterinary services should be better organised 05/10/

34 A Value Chain Approach for Sustainable ND Vaccination Poses the Question: What Appropriate ND Management will Facilitate Trade and Livelihoods For Smallholder Poultry Producers? GALVmed ND project template (next slide) focuses on the ND vaccine and describes a value chain for the vaccine. Perhaps the focus should be on the poultry that will receive the vaccine and on the family poultry value chain. There are opportunities to introduce the ND vaccine into family poultry as they enter and move along their value chain. 05/10/

35 ND Value Chain Actors Manufacturers / Importers Wholesaler/distributors Needs - Raw materials: SPF eggs - Availability of vaccine - Import policies - Availability of vaccine - Cold chain maintenance - Market development Private clinics and NGO s or Government offices in rural districts/territ ories (in cities) Retailer in town areas Re sellers at market in rural areas. Farmers (Self help groups) - Availability of vaccine - Cold chain maintained - Training in marketing -Availability of vaccine - Cold chain maintained - Training in marketing - Awareness: radio, etc, - Good Husbandry - Training in marketing Community 05/10/
