Key Points

  • Sege MP Daniel Keshi Bessey launched the Nkoko Nkitinkiti programme on March 2, 2026, aimed at empowering residents through poultry farming.
  • The initiative distributed 50 chicks each to 200 selected beneficiaries, including pastors, entrepreneurs, and youth, at the District Assembly.
  • The programme seeks to improve household incomes, promote sustainable livelihoods, enhance food security, and stimulate local economic activity in the Sege Constituency.
  • It is part of a broader government effort to boost local poultry production and reduce Ghana's significant reliance on imported poultry products.
  • The MP and DCE emphasized the programme's public benefit, aiming to create alternative income streams and reduce economic vulnerability for all registered community members.

Why This Matters

This initiative directly addresses Ghana's goals of food security and reducing import dependency, particularly for poultry products, which currently incur significant national expenditure. By empowering local communities through poultry farming, it fosters grassroots economic development, creates alternative income streams, and enhances the economic resilience of households, aligning with broader national development strategies.
