The partnership between Homerange Poultry Kenya (HPK) and 2SCALE seeks to scale up the Sustainable Local Chicken Production and Marketing Model (SLCPM), an out-grower program that connects small-holder poultry farmers who supply HPK with mature chicken and/or eggs to markets. The model brings together different actors in the indigenous poultry value chain -with HPK as the Lead Partner- with an aim of promoting youth and women inclusion and increasing incomes of small-holder farmers.
To achieve this, the partnership will scale up the model by mobilizing and training smallholder farmers (particularly youth and women) in the commercial production of indigenous chicken, facilitate linkages with financial institutions and other input providers, and assist in the development and marketing of poultry products to Base of Pyramid (BoP) markets.
