The Women In Poultry Value Chain (WIPVaC), in conjunction with the West Africa Food System Resilience Programme (FSRP) is inviting the public to a Chicken Road Show to mark its 8th Anniversary celebrations.
The event which will be held on Tuesday 29th April 2025 within the enclave of the Ministries, at the forecourt of CLOGSAG Headquarters (Accra), will entail free public sampling of hot, tasty nutritious grilled chicken (served with kenkey and pepper), promotional sale of fresh, frozen, homegrown chicken at off-market affordable prices, great music, surprise guests and side attractions.
WIPVAC
Women In Poultry Value Chain (WIPVaC) is an umbrella organisation that seeks to bring together all women along the Poultry Value Chain for common interests. It comprises aggregators of maize and soya, day-old chicks suppliers, dealers in poultry inputs such as fishmeal, concentrates, poultry drugs and poultry feed, poultry farmers, egg sellers, distributors of chicken and guinea fowl, processors of poultry products. Their goal is to create new opportunities for women along the Poultry Value Chain to stimulate developments for the benefit of society.
FSRP-MOFA POULTRY INTENSIFICATION SCHEME
WIPVaC is a beneficiary of MOFA-FSRP’s Poultry Intensification Scheme (PIS) which commenced last year, under which they took delivery of input credit comprising day-old-chicks, feeds, vaccines and training for broiler production. Their first cycle of production under the scheme is currently in the completion stage and ready for the market.
As this coincides with WIPVaC’s 8th Anniversary, they are collaboration with FSRP to promote Ghana Chicken through this Road Show, to strongly communicate their role in the gender mainstreaming effort in the commercial poultry sector, through capacity building, CSA technology adoption, and biosecurity best practices.
The event will commence around lunchtime on Tuesday, with special offers and surprises for early arriving patrons. During the National Farmers Day Exhibitions and celebrations late last year, FSRP mounted a similar Chicken Road Show at the Efua Sutherland Children’s Park, during which visitors to the exhibition grounds were treated with hot, tasty, nutritious grilled homegrown chicken.
FSRP is a Government of Ghana projected, implemented by the Ministry of Food & Agriculture, sponsored by the World Bank and coordinated by ECOWAS.

Wonderful
Gusheigu is one of the most highly productive farming community in the northern region Ghana. However, the community for the past five years, is severely affected by drought, pest and disease and erratic rainfall which resulted in recording the worst lower yield in the community. I am therefore pleading on the behalf of the community for you to come to our aid. Thank you. 0550584081
