This partnership enhanced the research, teaching, and extension capabilities of Alemaya University (AU) staff, with a particular emphasis on supporting a Ph.D. program in animal genetics and breeding. In addition to conducting seminars on scientific manuscript review and ruminant nutrition, a Langston University (LU) staff member and a faculty member from Fort Valley State University trained AU faculty in statistical analysis and parasitology. Two AU scientists received six months of training in animal genetics and breeding at LU, where they conducted research trials, prepared materials for use in classroom instruction, and upgraded their laboratory skills. LU provided AU with a large number of animal science textbooks. Two LU scientists provided training on multimedia presentations and the use of PowerPoint to improve teaching. More than 150 women received two female goats and training in goat production. In return, each woman repaid two young goats to an extension project for future collaborators.
