How to succeed in implementing community-based breeding programs: Lessons from the field in Eastern and Southern Africa por Haile, Aynalem, Getachew, Tesfaye, Rekik, Mourad, Abebe, A., Abate, Z., Jimma, A., Mwacharo, Joram M., Mueller, J., Belay, B., Solomon, Dawit, Hyera, E., Nguluma, A.S., Gondwe, T., Rischkowsky, Barbara A.

“…Community-based breeding program is unique in that it involves the different actors from the initial phase of design up until implementation of the programs, gives farmers the knowledge, skills and support they need to continue making improvements long into the future and is suitable for low input systems. In Ethiopia, we piloted CBBPs in sheep and goats, and the results show that they are technically feasible to implement, generate genetic gains in breeding goal traits and result in socio-economic impact. …”
