Poultry training is underway at the El Salaam Camp in Omdurman, an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp approximately 20 kilometers north of Sudan’s capital Khartoum. El Salaam is home to more than 200,000 displaced people mostly from the South who sought refuge in the north during Sudan’s conflict years.
These women are braving the harsh sun to learn about chickens, with funding from the United Nations Returns, Reintegration and Recovery program.
A local NGO is teaching the women how to manage their own chicken farms and egg production to increase dietary protein sources, especially for children. The direct beneficiaries for the project are 75 IDP women; however, through egg production and availability it will indirectly help the whole population in the camp at approximately 218,600 individuals in 43,700 families.
Nagat Batran Hmmad, of the Office on Returns, Reintegration and Recovery calls the project ‘amazing’.

The women she said will benefit through selling the eggs at the market, allowing them to purchase things like donkeys for transportation around the camp.

Rita is from Western Equatoria in the Southern of Sudan. She is one of the women being trained.

“If someone does not know how to work, then all the chickens will die, that would be a loss and we will not benefit. What was brought was a blessing to raise our children and be good”
The women will learn how many chickens can be kept per square meter, how to feed them, when to give them water and how to store the eggs. There is also a veterinarian on hand to ensure the chickens stay healthy.

“The incubated diseases we give them vaccines regularly according to a set program for the poultry owners during specified periods and according to specific age of the poultry.”
The cost of the poultry project in El Salaam is $18,010 and will last one month. It is hoped the skills acquired by the women through the project will be carried with the IDPs to their areas of return, helping them to become more self reliant.
The United Nations Mission in Sudan has been providing funding for Quick Impact Projects across Sudan.
