I am pleased to inform you that the Standing Committee on the Funding Strategy and Resource Mobilization of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture has opened the Fifth Call for Proposals under the Benefit-sharing Fund of the Treaty. The Call will invest more than USD 7 million in projects globally.
The BSF-5 programme will focus on improving livelihoods of small-scale farmers in developing countries, and promoting food security and sustainable agriculture through the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.
Any governmental or non-governmental organization, including genebanks and research institutions, farmers and farmers’ organizations, and regional and international organizations, based in eligible countries that are Contracting Parties to the International Treaty, may apply for grants under the Benefit-sharing Fund.
Applications must be sent using the Submission form for pre-proposals. The deadline for the submission of applications is 29 July 23:59 (Rome time). Applications must be sent through the national authorities of a country that is a Contracting Party to the Treaty, i.e., through the National Focal Points, Permanent Representatives to FAO or other official channels to FAO.
A Helpdesk function will be established for the applicants to the Fifth Call for Proposals. Upon request, the Helpdesk will provide technical support to facilitate the process of development of pre-proposals and full project proposals, including by providing practical information on how to complete the Submission form for pre-proposals, the channels of submission of pre-proposals, eligible countries and applicants, and any other information related to the Fifth Call for Proposals.
As National Focal Point of the Treaty in your country, you are kindly requested to:
1) Circulate and advertise the Fifth Call for Proposals to all potential beneficiaries in your country who may wish to submit an application, or contact developing agencies or other agencies in your country to alert them to use their contacts in partner developing countries.
2) Forward any applications you might receive before 29 July 23:59 (Rome time) to the Secretary of the International Treaty at BSF-Call-fo...@fao.org
The Fifth Call for Proposals and its Appendixes, including eligibility and screening criteria; list of Contracting Parties of the International Treaty eligible to apply to the Fifth Call for Proposals; list of National Focal Points and Permanent Representatives to FAO of eligible Contracting Parties; Submission form for pre-proposals; and information on the procedures following the submission of pre-proposals are available at https://www.fao.org/plant-treaty/areas-of-work/benefit-sharing-fund/fifth-cycle/en/
If you have any questions regarding the Fifth Call for Proposals, please contact BSF-Call-fo...@fao.org.
