Synopsis (short abstract) The knowledge and practical skills on family poultry to school children and the impact of Poultry Health World Development (PHWD) project to poultry keepers of Mzumbe ward in Morogoro Tanzania were assessed. This was done in order to analyse if it is worthy for the program to be adopted in other parts of Tanzania. PHWD is a project that operates in selected primary schools in Mzumbe ward, aiming at introducing local chicken production training to school pupils. Four schools (Masanze, Lubungo, Ma furu and Mwenge primary schools) were selected for the study, two schools having PHWD project and the other two schools not having the project. It was found in this study that knowledge in parents of trained pupils was higher as compared to the parents of the untrained pupils. In this case, 62% of parents of the trained children could understand the idea of chicken vaccination against Newcastle disease as compared to 38% of parents of the untrained children. In addition to the training to pupils , the PHWD project also facilitated poultry management training to villagers, where 14 villagers (8 women and 6 men) received the training from two of the involved schools in the year 2010-2011. This study assessed the knowledge adoption to the children in relation to gender, where it was found that boys were more involved to poultry keeping than girls. The study establishes that community oriented training projects can have significant impact in boosting productivity in village poultry keeping.
