ABSTRACT

This paper analyzes the dynamics at play in community poultry projects in Zimbabwe. We compare the performance levels of “family poultry” under three community-based development schemes: the contract-based scheme and the two community-led poultry development approaches, one supported by an NGO and the other under self-funding. Factors that influence farmers’ choice of the poultry scheme are also determined. Data was collected using observations and self-administered questionnaires from 61 smallholder poultry farmers in the Goromonzi District. Results indicate that landholding and distance to the nearest urban center influence the farmers’ choice of poultry scheme and that no single scheme is superior to the other. While the contract-based scheme records the highest sales and bird per cycle, it undermines the community’s capabilities to act independently. Contractors control price, marketing, and genetic-type decisions. In contrast, the other approaches have lower material returns, but they build the community’s broad-based capabilities for self-improvement.

津巴布韦 Goromonzi 区小规模肉鸡养殖户的家庭家禽发展系统

摘要

本文分析了津巴布韦社区家禽项目的动态。我们比较了三种基于社区的发展计划下“家庭家禽”的绩效水平:基于合同的计划和两种社区主导的家禽发展方法,一种由非政府组织支持,另一种在自筹资金下。还确定了影响农民选择家禽计划的因素。数据是通过观察和自我管理问卷收集的,来自 Goromonzi 区的 61 名小规模家禽养殖户。结果表明,土地所有权和到最近的城市中心的距离会影响农民对家禽计划的选择,并且没有一个计划优于另一个。虽然基于合同的计划记录了每个周期的最高销售额和鸟类,它削弱了社区独立行动的能力。承包商控制价格、营销和基因类型的决策。相比之下,其他方法的物质回报较低,但它们建立了社区广泛的自我提升能力。
