Introduction
Community-based breeding programs are promoted as a sustainable
alternative
Initiatives have started on small scale, limited number of farmers is
involved.
Which lessons have we learned?
What is needed to make community-based breeding programs
successful?

Main issues I
Site selection Breeding is not always the right intervention Livestock might be not important for farmers Long-term technical and intellectual back-up must be provided
locally Recording schemes
Simple, cost-effective and time-saving Information has to be with farmers on time Include recording in daily routine Tool for management decision

Main issues II
Communication process + role of scientists Scientists are facilitators and moderator Build trust Allocate enough time for discussions and feedback loops Language barriers Commitment and attitude of persons (Open-minded persons) Clear roles and rules have to be defined Multi-disciplinary team (social scientists!!)

Main issues III
Institutionalizing of cooperation Strategies to mitigate flow of staff members
Enabling environment Legal frameworks have to be in place Linkage to other projects/initiatives in the region

Outlook
Up-scaling to larger number of farmers still unclear Sustainability of community-based breeding programs still has to
be proven
