 My name is Thaddele Desi. I work for Illyri. I'm an animal predator geneticist working under the program Animal Biosciences. I'm here to talk on World Food Day. World Food Day, I'll talk more specifically on a program funded by Bill and Marinda Gates Foundation, the African Chicken Genetic Gains Program, that is being implemented in three countries, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Nigeria. The main interest of this program is to improve the lives of the smallholder chicken producers in Sub-Saharan Africa. We are building assets of the poor. We are also improving their livelihood through improved chicken or delivering improved chicken strands. We are also building their capacity, their knowledge, providing appropriate training in different levels. We are also trying to help them to improve their family nutrition by educating them and building their capacity in integrating chicken and chicken products in their food system. Thank you very much.
