In this comprehensive recap, we reflect on Animal Welfare League’s work throughout 2024, share our vision for 2025 and beyond. This effort is part of our dedication to open communication, enabling our partners, donors, and other supporters to learn about our achievements, challenges, and strategic goals, as well as to offer feedback on our future direction.

Snapshot of AWL’s 2024

We secured three 100% cage-free commitments in Ghana, which have already been fulfilled through the National Cage-Free Directory. The commitments are from Accra City Hotel, Sannak Hotel, and Sky Plus Hotel & Resort.
We carried out two egg producer workshops in the Bono and Volta regions, which brought together 76 egg producers. Of these, 61 joined the National Cage-Free Farmers Network, making a total of 154 egg producers in the network and 70 egg producers (+1 egg supplier) in the National Cage-Free Directory in Ghana. As a result, an estimated over 1.2 million hens are committed to cage-free housing that upholds our minimum welfare standards.
We commissioned two research studies, “Economic Analysis of Poultry Production Systems: Cage-free vs Battery Cages” and “Assessing the Attitude of Ghanaians towards Farmed Chicken Welfare, Higher Welfare Egg-Labeling, and Willingness to Pay,” which evaluate key questions on the economics and consumer awareness of animal welfare in chicken farming in Ghana. We also have a manuscript in consideration at a journal on “From Awareness to Action: Evaluating Animal Welfare Attitudes and Practices in Ghanaian School Children.”
We launched an essay competition that received 20+ submissions. We have also developed a campaign video to launch our consumer awareness campaign in 2025.
We signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ghana Standards Authority for a project on developing the country’s first national poultry standards.
Oyiwaladorn (which means “Thank You” in the Ghanaian language, “Ga”) to everyone who supported and engaged us in our work in the previous year. Non-casual readers who want to indulge in our work can read more for the detailed post.
