Capacity building

By way of Article 8 of the International Treaty, contracting parties have agreed to promote the provision of technical assistance to other contracting parties especially those of developing countries. Within the scope of Diverseeds such assistance can be provided, e.g. in terms of in situ conservation in genetic reserves and on-farm (see figure 5.1), partners within Diverseeds have been active; indeed there is now very substantial practical experience that can be conveyed by way of this project..
