Women Empowerment in the Chicken Value Chain

Abstract

Women empowerment in chicken production and marketing is essential for sustainable development. Women play significant roles in chicken farming, including raising chickens, collecting eggs, and managing sales. However, they often face challenges such as limited access to resources, training, and market opportunities. Empowering women in this sector involves providing access to education, technology, and financial resources. Training women in chicken production, management and marketing skills, has the potential to increase productivity, improve product quality, and expand market reach. These interventions have the overall effect of empowering women in enhancing their economic independence, fostering gender equality, improving food security and contributing to overall community development.
