USAID launched the Conserving the Biodiversity of Northern Congo by Diversifying the Livelihoods of Bushmeat Value Chain Agents and Increasing Poultry Production activity in September 2020. Called “Soso Pona Moto Nyonso” in Lingala, or Chicken for Everyone, the activity addresses unsustainable levels of wild meat consumption in RoC by combining livelihood and biodiversity-focused interventions. This case study addresses the activity’s approach and early results, including successes and barriers to protecting wildlife by increasing alternative protein sources and developing a more diverse economy.

In 2022, USAID collected this case study, as part of a series that looks at USAID-funding activities from around the world. The case study provides a snapshot of the activity and how it addresses the questions posed in the Wild Meat Learning Agenda. For more information on how the USAID Poultry Production Activity has progressed see the following resources: 

More information and resources about USAID’s approaches to addressing unsustainable wild meat demand are available at USAID’s Wild Meat Collaborative Learning Group. The information provided in the case study series does not necessarily represent the views or positions of USAID or the U.S. Government.
