Core offering

World Poultry Foundation is a non-profit foundation that operates the African Poultry Multiplication Initiative (APMI), a private-sector-led program model building self-sustaining poultry value chains in rural communities through Mother Units that distribute improved dual-purpose chicks (Sasso, Kuroiler, Noiler) to smallholder farmers. It provides free training, technical assistance, the FeedMixer mobile app, educational video resources, and a data analytics ecosystem to support partner organizations and beneficiary farmers across 20+ countries.

Product overview

World Poultry Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on improving lives globally through sustainable poultry production. Rather than a unified software product, WPF operates a portfolio of programs and tools including the African Poultry Multiplication Initiative (APMI) — a flagship private-sector model building self-sustaining poultry value chains using dual-purpose birds and Mother Units; the FeedMixer mobile app for poultry nutrition optimization; data analytics systems using CommCare and Power BI for program monitoring; and training programs through partnerships with KZNPI and Future Farmers Foundation. WPF also provides educational video series on biosecurity, record keeping, vaccination, and poultry management.
