The launch in Mali in 2023 of the country’s first-ever community-based breeding scheme for goats demonstrates that when small-scale livestock keepers collaborate, they can improve the genetic potential of their goats and enhance their livelihoods. By including key public, private, and professional stakeholders in the design of the program, ICARDA and ILRI ensure it is tailored to the Malian context and farmers’ objectives and capacities.
