The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a grant of $238,212 to the Animal Welfare Standards Project to support its work to advance farm animal welfare in East and Southeast Asia. The Animal Welfare Standards Project plans to use this grant to run workshops to train local “facilitators” on animal welfare best practices in pig and poultry production, transport, and slaughter. These local facilitators will then train other producers, transporters, and slaughterers. This project is expected to include extensive evaluation, which we expect will enable us to assess whether the workshops successfully improve slaughter practices, as well as research into ways to better engage livestock stakeholders across Asia in improving animal welfare, which the Animal Welfare Standards Project plans to use to inform future work on farm animal welfare.
