CONCLUSION
To our knowledge, our study is the first to show positive impacts of a multiyear HFP program on poultry production and egg consumption both during and post‐intervention. While improved poultry production contributed to increased egg consumption among women, our results suggest that impacts were achieved primarily through other program components. Barriers related to shed use, vaccination, and other improved practices may have limited the potential of poultry production to contribute to diets. Further research on improving the design, delivery, and uptake of poultry interventions, with emphasis on participatory approaches that identify barriers and opportunities as well as provide assets that households most need, may enhance the potential of poultry to improve dietary outcomes. Further, our results highlight the need to evaluate the potential benefits and drawbacks of individual program components in complex, multicomponent interventions.
