Factor loading after rotation that emerged on the same component was described; as brooding, shelter and care of the chicks; predators and healthcare; hygiene and litter management; feeds and feeding stuff; and record keeping and marketing. The findings on the human resource development revealed that staff meetings were the most common method of capacity development. This was followed by in-service-training, formal study, workshop, and on the job training. The farmers’ field school and study tours were sparingly used. However, respondents were in favor of on-site training, staff meetings, formal study and in-service training. The findings on the appropriate model suggest a theoretical indigenous poultry production model (IPPM) for the Eastern Cape Province (ECP). The “open social system” was used to develop a framework for an indigenous poultry cooperative society (to be known as Abafuyi Benkukhu Zemveli [ABZ]). This was meant to create a binding force for capacity development, a strong economic foundation through equity contributions, creation of marketing channels, and the development of a concept of ‘‘our own'' product in the market. Lastly, the study offers options for a training program that would accommodate the new initiatives, with a strong capacity development training approach. In this context, the study advocates for institutional support for the IPFs and the incorporation of indigenous poultry in the curriculum of the agricultural training programs at higher education institutions in South Africa.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 16:27:48 SAST ]]> Effectiveness of irrigation water management institutions in Zimbabwe: a new institutional economics theory approach https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11195 Wed 12 May 2021 15:45:10 SAST ]]> Modelling payment systems for environmental services in the Mt Elgon ecosystem of Kenya https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11206 Thu 13 May 2021 12:10:03 SAST ]]> Impact of human dimensions on smallholder farming in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11201 Thu 13 May 2021 03:58:28 SAST ]]> Access to credit and the effect of credit constraints on household welfare in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11153 Thu 13 May 2021 01:17:12 SAST ]]>
