Re: Transforming gender relations in agriculture through women’s empowerment: benefits, challenges and trade-offs for improving nutrition outcomes

Dear FSN-Moderator,

Please find attached herewith an Article "Study on Creation of Other Income Sources from Backyard Poultry Production in Afghanistan.

This project has reached the poor rural women, the main target, who benefited in terms of income, food security, social and economic empowerment. The additional income generated through the sale of eggs, pullets and old stock had immediate positive impacts for the rural women beneficiaries that are practicing the improved backyard poultry management. With the help of Women Poultry Associations beneficiaries are able to sell their products and generate extra income that is used for domestic needs and creation of other income sources.

Best regards

Jafar Emal, National Poultry Advisor,
