This is a detailed report on conference proceedings of the Achieving Impact at Scale (AIS) ICT in Agricultural Extension Policy Roundtable Workshop.
Healthy chicken husbandry empowers women, feeds families and builds the resilience of the farming system as a whole. Up to 98% of families in rural Kenya keep small flocks of chickens, mainly local or ‘indigenous’ types.

This report provides a record of the inception workshop which lasted for 3 days, the workshop outcomes, and key discussions on major issues connected with the workshop.
