September 2026 poultry monitoring
We visited four households on 3 September to hear how their poultry activities were going. Two households described active flocks and two had paused production. Families raised difficulties with rain, cold, damaged housing and theft. The visit recorded how the activities were going at that point.

Why we returned
We returned to four households on 3 September 2026 to discuss poultry activities that had received support. We wanted to understand the state of each activity, how the household had used the support and the difficulties they were facing. Our team recorded the conversations alongside photographs of the enclosures and birds.
What families reported
Two households described active flocks of around 40 birds. Two others had paused production and hoped to restart in the dry season. The report records support attributed to CVID-Cam, CDENO and the Regional Assembly. These accounts describe different household situations, with progress and interruptions across the group.
What still needed attention
Families raised concerns about rain, cold, damaged housing and theft. Their accounts show why a delivery of inputs needs follow-up. Flock numbers describe the situation reported during the visit. We would need later records of sales, costs and household circumstances to assess changes in income.

Ask about reuseDifferent situations in the same visit round
The four accounts describe two active flocks and two paused activities. In one home, earlier losses and poor conditions led to discussion of restarting in the dry season. In another, the household described growth from an initial small flock to around forty birds, with concerns about theft and plans to improve locks. A further account described a larger space and a flock around the same size. The final entry concerns another supported household whose activity had stopped.
These are different households and different support histories, including CVID-Cam, Regional Assembly and CDENO links. They should not be presented as one cohort or a single uniform outcome. Flock figures are those reported during the visits, without audited sales or profit accounts.
What returning made visible
The conversations connected the poultry activity with housing, weather, security, family support and the cost of restarting. Members listened, offered encouragement and discussed practical next steps. Photographs record birds and enclosures; they do not by themselves prove income, wellbeing or the identity of an earlier participant.
Some practices mentioned by households are reported observations, rather than endorsed veterinary treatments. The useful public evidence is that follow-up found varied situations and further needs. A before-and-after account would require a verified earlier record for the same household and permission to publish the comparison.
