ProjectEmergency Support to Restore the Livelihoods of the Poor Farming Poultry Producers Affected by the El Niño-Induced Drought and Salt-Water Intrusion Effect - TCP/VIE/3605 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Against the backdrop of one of the worst droughts in history, attributed to the El Niño event, a total of 52 of the 63 provinces (83 percent) of Viet Nam were affected by drought in 2016, and 18 provinces were declared to be in a State of Emergency at the peak of the drought in May 2016. The latest assessments (in October 2016) showed that in the three most affected regions of the country, namely the Central Highlands, Central and Mekong Delta regions, the lack of water (also as a result of salt intrusion) caused significant damage/losses, 45 percent of which were related to the 2016 main winter/spring paddy crops and 50 percent to the livestock, mainly poultry, pigs, sheep and goats. National/local authorities and farmers, who had not experienced this level of severity of drought and salinity intrusion before, were not sufficiently prepared to address the situation. The project worked towards restoring the agriculturebased livelihoods of poor farming households in the six most affected provinces, through the distribution of livestock and animal feed, and the provision of good husbandry and biosecurity training to extension workers and affected farmers. -
Book (stand-alone)Family poultry farming in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Georgia
Preliminary investigation report
2025Also available in:
No results found.This report explores the impact of rural poultry production on the livelihoods of smallholders in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Georgia. While contrasting perspectives between producers and ag/vet suppliers were documented, the research indicates that poultry production significantly contributes to the well-being of these communities in Europe and Central Asia. In Georgia, there is potential for substantial improvements in family poultry production and knowledge among producers and suppliers. Conversely, Bosnia and Herzegovina presents a more intricate challenge, requiring time to overcome direct and indirect hurdles to enhance the conditions of rural households.The report identifies a critical need for improved collaborations between government entities, suppliers, and producers, especially in disease surveillance for poultry. It underscores the absence of comprehensive data on the causes of poultry mortality, which affects producers of all scales. Addressing vaccine-preventable diseases through well-structured vaccination programmes could not only curb poultry loss but may also bolster confidence in human vaccines.Furthermore, the paper highlights the necessity of establishing robust cold chains, vaccination protocols, and responsible use of antimicrobials, which are vital for the long-term success of supplier enterprises and consumer trust. The study also suggests that enhancing community awareness about the nutritional benefits of chicken and eggs could significantly improve food security, particularly for vulnerable groups such as women and children.The involvement of women in poultry-related activities varied between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Georgia, prompting the need for initiatives that cater to local needs and the ambitions of producers and suppliers. The report outlines specific recommendations for supporting smallholder poultry producers, with a focus on gender-inclusive practices, over the following 18 months and the subsequent three years, including the establishment of farmer groups and training in various aspects of poultry husbandry. -
