The African Chicken Genetic Gains (ACGG) project aims to improve chicken productivity in sub-Saharan Africa through the development and dissemination of genetically improved, tropically-adapted chicken breeds. The project establishes innovation platforms to test and deliver new chicken breeds to smallholder farmers in Nigeria, Tanzania and Ethiopia. Through public-private partnerships, the project works to close yield gaps between indigenous chickens and hybrids in order to increase incomes, improve nutrition, and alleviate poverty across Africa.
