I have a strong interest in farmed animal with strong interest in abundance growth and is currently up-skilling in global economics/research. I spend my spare time doing EA community building and movement building. I currently advise organisers at EA KNUST. I love art and watching art documentaries.

Hi Raph,
Thanks for your support and pointing out the typo. It’s supposed to read “…about a third of an A4 sheet of paper”. Will ask the team to correct it.
Congratulations on the launch! Excited about the growing scene of animal welfare work in Ghana.
Hi Ben,
Thanks for flagging this. We have now resolved any issues with the email button and added more templates.
Probably. Are you render websites in non-English languages such as French and Arabic ?
Thank you for organizing and offering this platform for knowledge sharing and community building. Can’t wait to see what Ghana has to offer 🇬🇭
Thank you Alex for the continual support.

Go AWL!!!
Thanks Fai. I would say most groups are starting to build a track record for cage-free work as a result a decent amount of the conversations and work is focused on that. I would suspect cage broiler is on their radar.
In Ghana, it is pretty much on our radar and not a major concern (in terms of number of hens) at the moment. I can say with 90% confidence cage broiler should it exist is less than 1% of the country’s chicken production drawing from the fact that Ghana imports about 80-95% of chicken consumed and local broiler production is still majorly seasonal.PS: Ghana1 opens to a story about cage broiler production in Zimbabwe not Ghana.
Most of this progress is inspired by your incredible work ethic Aurelia. Thank for all you do for groups in Africa.
Thanks Carley. Means a lot to us to hear this from you. Excited to contribute our quota.
Thanks Björn. Equally excited about their work.
Thanks for this information Jamie. Could you elaborate more on the regranting opportunities. A few advocates and myself are becoming more convinced a regranting program for farm animal welfare research in Africa is crucial for the growth of the effective animal advocacy in Africa (currently sparse and ~ less than 5 reports/papers are published annually). We have a few ideas about how to go about this but will be open to discussing it with a grantmaker.
Always inspiring learning about your transparency.
Do you think your evaluation model (when fully developed) could be used by us [Animal Welfare League] to evaluate our volunteer program. Three of our volunteers have now been accepted into your training program and others ( university students) are starting university clubs?
Really excited about the work you have done since coming into the space. Looking forward to seeing the ripple effects of your TP program.
An interesting read. Thank you for highlighting this perspective, Wanjiru!
Yes, exactly, I think the authors are making the same point and that some of these non-EU countries tend to be African countries.
Well pointed out. The issue of second-hand battery cage in Africa is just ticking bomb waiting to blow up with devastating welfare consequences.
Hi Constance, I think is only Animal Welfare League in Ghana currently doing this in Africa. More details about the work in Jacob’s reply above 👆🏾
