The Open Wing Alliance (OWA) funded project continued efforts towards developing a nationwide campaign that would promote cage-free chicken farming in Kenya and Africa at large. To boost the campaign, a Cage-Free Coalition, Kenyan Chapter, was formed in March 2021 that brought animal welfare stakeholders under one umbrella to collaborate efforts towards achieving “A Cage-Free Africa”.

A one-day cage-free chicken stakeholders’ workshop attended by over 20 participants was held in a Naivasha hotel, in Nakuru County on 15th February 2023 to strengthen the coalition. The workshop brought together different organisations with interest in poultry welfare to forge a way forward on how to advocate against use of poultry battery cages in Kenya due to the welfare concerns of the practice. The OWA Africa Coordinator – Aurelia Adhiambo, attended the workshop.
