Summary:Community-based breeding programs developed and implemented by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) have become an accepted strategy of choice for small ruminant genetic improvement in Ethiopia.

The curriculum program is supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, with ICARDA providing technical support for the teaching process.
