Strengthening Sheep and Goat Breeding in Tunisia

Supported by CGIAR’s Sustainable Animal and Aquatic Food Systems and Multifunctional Landscapes programs, ICARDA and Tunisia’s Office de l’Élevage et des Pâturages (OEP) are rebuilding one of the region’s pioneering sheep and goat breeding programs. Within this collaboration, ICARDA and OEP are setting the stage for a modernized, sustainable, and community-integrated sheep and goat breeding system in Tunisia to preserve genetic diversity while enhancing productivity and economic value for sheep and goat producers.
