Mining Genes from wild Relatives of Wheat
Formal and informal approaches used in accelerated seed production and distribution of wheat resistant varieties to Stripe & Black Stem Rusts developed by NARS in collaboration with CIMMYT and ICARDA and Public - Private Partnership in seed production:
Public and private sector distributed 85,943 MT seed of rust resistant varieties 572,956 ha wheat area in two seasons 2012 & 2013.

Ex-ante impact assessment for IFAD investment project (second phase: 2010-15)
Estimated outcome from restocking of households with goats with improved livestock nutrition and livestock community breeding
• Nearly five-fold increase in goat numbers estimated for 2016 (7512 goats) compared to the total number of goats distributed during 2010-16 (1578)
• Nearly four-fold increase in the value of goats (present value of USD 1.28 million in 2015) compared to investment (USD 280,000) from 2010-15 for the community.
