Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $100,000 to Partner Africa to support a pilot project to refine and implement chicken welfare standards in Kenya by working with the Kenya Bureau of Standards and other key stakeholders. Partner Africa is a nonprofit that seeks to improve the lives of vulnerable workers and producers in Africa, and to promote responsible business practices.
This falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of farm animal welfare, specifically within its interest in broiler chicken welfare.
To learn more about new approaches and strategies, Open Philanthropy sometimes makes “experimental grants”, which involve less vetting than its other grants. This is an experimental grant.
