Agricultural Research (EIAR) could be counted as one step ahead. Established by the financial support of the World Bank through Agricultural Research Training Program (ARTP) and Research and Capacity Building Program (RCBP) of the EARI, the NABL is officially inaugurated on September 2010. Its vision is to improve the agricultural livelihood of the nation through market competitive agricultural technologies. The three important pillars or missions of the NABC include enhancing agricultural research efficiency through application of biotechnology tools; improving production, productivity and quality of plants, animals and microbes and their products; and supporting the fulfillment of the Growth and Transformation Program (GTP) of the country at large. Farmer-to-Farmer (F2F) program in Ethiopia is operating in alignment with the USAID (FtF) Initiative of the Food Security Bureau of the US government and the Growth Program (AGP) of the Ethiopian government. ISSUE DESCRIPTION In pursuance to the recent establishment of the National Agricultural Biotechnology Research Program (NABRP) by the Ethiopian Agricultural Research Institute (EARI) of the Ethiopian government, the present programmatic activities of the NABRP strategically setup in three Under these three sub-programs, eight functional projects are also strategically set for operations. Most operations of these sub-programs and projects are being run in the National Agricultural Biotechnology Center (NABRC). The three Programs are Plant Biotechnology (operational since 2000), Animal Biotechnology (operational since 2006), and Microbial Biotechnology (operational since 2011). Under these programs, the list of eight current projects under operations also includes: Tissue culture protocol development and Mass propagation of disease free plants Molecular characterization of plants/Marker assisted selection(MAS) Diagnosis and indexing of diseases Assessment of the occurrence of GMO/ GMO detection Reproductive Biotechnology Rumen Biotechnology Microbial Starter Cultures
