Women empowerment has recently become a global policy objective, thus attracting much attention. The Sustainable Development Goals recognize women empowerment as one of the 2030 agenda. In the same vein, development partners across the world, including governments, Non-Governmental Organizations and International Development Organizations, are increasingly concerned with women empowerment. Development policy makers and practitioners have realized the importance of empowering women as a way to enhance agricultural production and alleviate rural poverty. As such, more development projects are incorporating this issue and integrating activities designed to empower women into their structures and the implementation processes. Therefore, this book evaluated the role of improved chicken intervention in empowering women socio-economically in Bariadi and Muheza districts, Tanzania. The study specifically: (i) analysed the determinants of women empowerment in relation to improved chicken intervention, (ii) determined the contribution of the African Chicken Genetic Gain project to women empowerment, and (iii) assessed the role of Community Innovation Platforms in promoting women empowerment.
