Major event 1. Met with Joe, John and Ikupu and identify and confirm selected model farmers for Yule Island and Hisiu sites. The first major activity at the workshop in Yule was the selection of interested farmers, all the selected model farmers were interested and would like to take up village chicken farming. While the selected farmers in Hisiu were interested in village chicken, duck, goat and fish/duck integration. The selection of the interested farmers from both sides were done by their leaders/chiefs/elders with consultation from their community

2. The evaluation workshop in Yule Island was attended by 15 participants, of which 6 were second lot of selected model farmers and 4 were current model farmers and 5 were chiefs and community leaders and interested community members. From the 15 participants, 5 were female participants and 10 were male participants.

3. The evaluation workshop in Hisiu was attended by 56 participants, of which 38 were second lot of selected model farmers and 4 were current model farmers and 14 were chiefs and ward development officers and interested community members. From the 56 participants, 17 were female participants and 39 were male participants (see Annex 1).

4. The second major activity was the interested farmer’s on-site assessment, two important assessments were carried out; one on farm unit setup, in which materials to be use in the farm unit setup was identified and farm unit

set design and layout was explained and demonstrated to the farmers. The other assessment was carried out to identify the interested farmers training needs. Generally from the assessment, most of the selected farmers do not have basic skills in livestock husbandry; especially the livestock that will be will be distributed, so the training will be focused on the basics of livestock husbandry and its demonstration on-site.

5. Key issues discussed at workshop; Project objectives were clearly mentioned and discussed with

interested and model farmers Project importance and benefits to the community and its

sustainability in terms of food security were also discussed Livestock distribution to model farmers and repayment or

credit to next round of model farmers were also discussed Interested farmer selection processes and who is responsible

and finalised with the leaders and farmers in consultation with their own schedule.
