The Department of Agriculture and Livestock in collaboration with Hand in Hand, has held a workshop in West Pokot County to sensitize farmers on best poultry keeping practices.
Speakers including a Senior Livestock Production Assistant William Odhiambo, from the ministry enumerated the need for local farmers to diversify their income bases in the wake of climate change.
Hand in Hand Business Relationship Officer Gladys Rotich stressed that the poultry farming workshop held at Korelach Sub-location in Chepareria Ward was critical in entrenching the bird rearing culture among the majority pastoralist communities to supplement their livelihoods.
Hand in Hand Organization focuses on partnering with marginalized communities to promote both economic and social empowerment.
