Analytical Documentation of the Artificial Insemination Program of BRAC

This paper intends to have feedback from the stakeholders of BRAC artificial insemination (AI) program that could be useful for it. The findings show that implementers have to compete with other service providers in a discriminatory manner. Unfair price war and violations of the bilateral deal and existing breeding policy by the government have been identified as the major challenges of BRAC in transferring the AI technology to the beneficiaries. Organizational and academic recognition are the main drivers of the AI volunteers to work for BRAC as a social enterprise to enhance their social and economic status. Despite having challenges, BRAC has been performing well compared to government and other service providers in the AI market due to high conception rate, skill AI workers, doorstep service, close monitoring, and strict management. However, the extent of challenges of BRAC may be explored further all over the operating areas to take necessary measures by the program for sustainability.
