Project Overview

Strengthening Rural Nutrition & Household Incomes

Pakistan has over 87 million backyard poultry birds reared annually. Yet per-head production of meat and eggs is very low due to poor genetics, inadequate nutrition, and limited disease management. Millions of rural households depend on backyard poultry for dietary protein and daily income.

This project distributed improved, high-yielding poultry breeds at 30% subsidy to rural beneficiaries across all provinces including AJK, GB, and ICT — combined with training in poultry management, nutrition, and disease prevention.
