Introducing the African Chicken Genetic Gains projectA platform for testing, delivering, and continuously improving tropically-adapted chickens for productivity growth in sub-Saharan AfricaFirst ACGG Nigeria Innovation Platform Meeting  Ibadan, Nigeria, 20-22 July 2015Adelaja Adesina and Olanike Deji (Obafemi Awolowo University)Our VisionTo transform Smallholder chicken production into commerciallyviable enterprise with active private sector engagement thatempowers rural women, increases income and nutrition of theirfamily through delivery of more productive locally adaptable chicken,production inputs and services to rural communitiesACGG Nigeria 1) Determine which genetically improved chicken breed ishighly productive LAC2)Develop working PPP for supply of birds, inputs and servicesto the rural SHC farmers3)Measure changes in production, productivity income and HHconsumption of poultry products4)Support the empowerment process (control over resources)of women in the SHC value chainObjective6 Agro-ecological zones5 Project (Sub-National) ZonesHumid Forest 1,2,3Derived Savanna 1,2,3,4Guinea Savanna 4,5Sudan Savanna 5Sahel Savanna -Midaltitude 4Site SelectionSource: www.iita.orgShikaBrown® FulaniFUNAAB alphaForeignNigerianFayoumi KuroilerSasso orGenetic MaterialTo achieve developmental Objectives1.
