Abstract
This report presents effects of community based breeding program (CBBP) on small
ruminant fertility, mortality, offtake, earnings per head of animal, and consumption
expenditure. We used a two-wave panel dataset on 555 households in four different
livestock production systems and estimated Doubly Robust Difference in Differences
models. The results show that CBBP has improved fertility of small ruminants, offtake
[market supply], and income from small ruminants. The effects reported here are
broader and larger in magnitude than an earlier report on the same data but using
different formulations of the difference in differences estimator. This report is part of a
continuous effort that aims at comprehensively quantifying the different impacts of
CBBP in Ethiopia. A separate set of analysis on a bigger dataset will follow before
consolidating the national level report.
