This project targets vulnerable populations of smallholders, women and children and should lead to increased poultry production, increased egg consumption of children, improved nutrition, and increased household level resilience. This innovative intervention will be the gifting of chickens by religious leaders to children ages 6 to 12 months coupled with integrated nutrition and agricultural trainings.
This study involves innovative behavioral change theoretical methodology to empower caregivers as smallholder poultry producers by improving their access to livestock production resources and agricultural extension services, providing tools for improved decision making, and enhancing nutrition based knowledge. Smallholder production is important in eliminating food insecurities and building resilience to improve nutrition in children under 5. Based on the results of the Ethiopian egg project, through messaging and education, this study will foster favorable attitudes and consequent behavioral changes, including increased egg consumption.
