Description of Initiative

Main objectives: 

The project aims at establishing a large-scale chicken farm as an income-generating activity for the inhabitants of the rural area of Ouled Daoug (Nador province, northern Morocco). The project is needed because agriculture is the main productive activity of the area for the moment, but it is only seasonal, which does not secure stable revenues for the local population.

Main activities: 

The idea is for the project to generate sustainable, stable incomes, thereby offering local inhabitants, especially young adults, a viable alternative to emigration. Commercialization networks and transport of chicken and eggs would be contemplated by the project as well as production.

The migration and development component would come into play with the involvement of Moroccan diaspora living in Belgium to support of the project, mainly by investing remittances in it.

Main beneficiaries: 

Women would especially benefit from the initiative, as chicken breeding and farming is traditionally an activity undertaken by women, but only at the small/family scale. Main beneficiaries would be the local population, a total of 329 inhabitants.
