Guinea fowl and crop farmers of the Sustainable Rural Livelihood Project (SRLP) under the United Nation Development Program (UNDP) supported by Africa 2000 Network have taken delivery of 5 incubators valued at 3000 Ghana Cedis and two donkeys and donkey carts in the west Gonja district of The Northern Region.
The Sustainable Rural Livelihood Project (SRLP) was initiated in the year 2006 with the aim of supporting and improving the livelihood of the poor through the promotion of Crop and Animal Production to help develop them.
Five communities made up of ten members each received the incubators whilst two groups made up of 35 members received the donkeys and donkey carts.
