The Volta Regional Minister, Hon James Gunu, today, 26/05/26, officially launched the Nkoko Nkitinkiti initiative in the regional capital, Ho. The program is under the government’s Feed Ghana Program.
According to the Minister, the initiative is more than a poultry project—it is a practical tool for reducing poverty, creating jobs, improving household incomes, and strengthening food security, he added. He said, with 180,000 day-old chicks allocated to the region, many families and young entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to build sustainable livelihoods through poultry farming.
He noted that the programme resonates with Ghanaians traditional way of supporting families in times of need, where the sale of a few chickens could help address immediate household challenges. The Minister was hopeful that in many ways, Nkoko Nkitinkiti is a revival of that age-old poverty reduction strategy.
He commended all stakeholders for their commitment to making the initiative a success. “Together, we will continue to support programmes that empower our people and drive economic growth across the Volta Region,” the Minister assured.
