The focus of the training is to enhance the capacity of chicken farmers with entrepreneurial skills necessary to build successful and sustainable chicken farming. The training aims at equipping chicken and shoat farmers with basic business skills to start, manage and sustain a chicken/shoat farming enterprise through a learning-by-doing practical approach. The programme aims at developing livestock farmers’ (mainly chicken and shoats) skills and competencies in business while improving their knowledge, filling their information gap, changing their attitudes towards chicken and shoat farming as a business and rearing them specifically for the market. This programme aims at transforming farmers’ attitudes towards chicken and shoats farming and becoming demand responsive. Farmers will, in small groups, learn how to identify venture opportunities, manage, and grow the business, identify, and target markets hence make livestock farming much more profitable. They will also get to know the benefits of group entrepreneurship (in form of cooperatives).
