PROJECT IMPLIMENTORS
Rural Integrated Systems (RIS)
TARGET GROUP
Local Farmers of Kyegegwa
FUNDING REQUIRED
UGX 9,790,500 (Nine million seven hundred and ninety thousand
five hundred shillings)
INTRODUCTION
In nearly all Ugandan rural areas, poultry production is
predominantly based on a free-range system utilising indigenous
types of domestic fowl. This method is implemented by families
owning the birds. It means that the birds are left to scavenge
to meet their nutritional needs. Housing may or may not be
provided and where this is done, usually local materials are
used for construction. With the birds scavenging, it means that
there is minimal management with some variations of gender roles
in the activities.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Kyegegwa is a peri-urban district occupied by small scale
farmers with different farming activities some of which are
limited by lack of know-how and inadequate information and thus
technologies to implement. This therefore calls for enlightening
all the actively involved farmers and households on the
enterprise of indigenous chicken keeping on large scale which
requires small land yet yields high returns. And this is what
RIS intends to do.
MARKET ANALYSIS
This is a random sampling from the poultry and poultry products
consumers in Kyegegwa the data is not analyzed but serves the
purpose and does not include shops and retailers.

From the table above the market is 336 tries per month for only
these yet there are more than 20 kiosks and restaurants.RIS seeks
to satisfy this demand through modeling to other farmer to
increase production.
PROJECT OUTCOMES
• Acquisition of practical and management skills by RIS and
participating farmers.
• The project will also act as a guideline for enterprise
selection for farming communities in Kyegegwa.
• Generation of money from the sales of eggs and birds upon
curling off.
SUSTAINABILITY
Like before RIS intends to use the expected increased internally
generated funds from the sales of the project’s products to keep
running.
While modeling to the local farmers some technologies will be
taught to them at a small affordable cost of not more than 10000
UGX.
