  1. WINNER, MOST RECOMMENDED PROJECT EXPERIENCES FROM THE FIELD 2013 ONE HEN CAMPAIGN INNOVATION EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMME

  2. What is the One Hen Campaign? • HistoryFounded in 2009 by University of Nairobi students. • How it works • IEP gives rural Kenyan women and youth a “micro-loan” of an indigenous hen and a cage. • IEPtrains beneficiaries on entrepreneurship, poultry management, agribusiness, financial management, adaptation to climate change, value chain linkages, and other cross-cutting issues.

  3. Results for Beneficiaries • Economic self-sufficiency among youth and women. • Source of income from selling eggs and chicken. • Beneficiaries’ Savings & Credit Cooperative Society where they access finance as a group and obtain cheap credit, share dividends, and create market linkages for products. • Basic business/financial literacy skills. 

  4. Results for the Community • Improved food security from increased consumption of eggs, chicken, and indigenous vegetables produced by kitchen gardens well nourished by chicken manure. • Reliable database on production and the costs of different production systems (in progress). • Cottage industry blossomed in villages to manufacture chicken feed locally. • Reduction of urban migration as youth and women create enterprises that employ staff. • Plays an important cultural role.
