| 要約: | This study aimed to conduct an environmental assessment of the poultry sector of
'Challenging the Frontiers of Poverty Reduction/ Targeting the Ultra Poor Program
(CFPR!fUP)' program of BRAC. Special focus was given to health and environmental
aspects of poultry rearing including the housing and diseases of both human and poultry,
surrounding environment, access to and sources of water, waste management, common
property resources, and social conflicts related to the poultry programme. Data were
collected through field observation, in-depth interview, and case studies during August
2003. Poultry rearing was found to be a promising income generating activity for the ultra
poor. A few obstacles related to health, resource use, resource management, and social
conflicts were identified. There were some innovative initiatives taken by the TUP
poultry members related to waste management, alternate source of income and water
access. Some steps were suggested to resolve social conflicts, health problems, poultry
housing, waste marketing, increase nutritional intake, initiate intermediate mcome
generating projects, and management issues of common property resource.
