The Breeding Program was a long-term project developed by the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood whereby certain genetic stock was purposefully bred. For more than 10,000 Standard Years the Bene Gesserit had manipulated bloodlines to produce the Kwisatz Haderach, essentially a male Bene Gesserit who could possess Other Memories as well as see into the future. Upon his death, the Bene Gesserit once again took control of the program. Through it they bred genetic lines into their own Sisterhood, and other areas. Their later efforts resulted in Miles Teg, among others.
