ICARDA\u2019s scaling framework extended goat community-based breeding programs (CBBP) to more than 2,000 households in Konso, Ethiopia. Through the project, led by Dr. Aynalem Haile, communities gain understanding and experience that harmonizes national standards, while allowing them to develop their own way forward. ICARDA offers certification to ensure quality control across the CBBP communities, covering skills such as breeding value, physical integrity, semen assessment, mating ability, and vaccination against five diseases. By engaging with 23 Ethiopian universities in 2021, CBBP was further expanded. Over ten now incorporate CBBPs into their undergraduate program and six have launched CBBPs in nearby villages.<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5014 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/MicrosoftTeams-image-29.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/MicrosoftTeams-image-29.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/MicrosoftTeams-image-29-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/MicrosoftTeams-image-29-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/MicrosoftTeams-image-29-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/MicrosoftTeams-image-29-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1512\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Spineless cactus<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1512\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1512\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>In 2021, ICARDA introduced spineless cactus as a fodder in the degraded hills of Odisha, India, as part of the India-ICARDA Collaborative Program.

It is rich in carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins, and water, and provides enormous health benefits in the reduction of cholesterol and triglyceride levels.\u00a0<br \/>Some 425.26 hectares were planted with 28,442 cactus cladodes and 16 foundation nurseries and 36 village-level multiplication nurseries were established in a work package led by Dr. Mounir Louhaichi.
