TRANSCRIPT
Genebanks CRP
• Crop & tree diversity in international collections under Art 15 is secured in perpetuity
• Conserved crop & tree germplasm is clean, available and disseminated
2
Genebanks CRP
• Use of conserved crop and tree diversity is informed and facilitated
• Crop & tree diversity is conserved within a rationalized, cost-effective and globalized system.

Genebanks are Good Value!
The 12 most popular accessions in the IRRI genebank have been used in more than 1000 crosses each
6
Of 4,317 rice varieties released, 90% non-IRRI varieties and 100% IRRI varieties had at least one genebank accession in its pedigree
Performance Indicators
• % of total collection available (viable, disease-free, in sufficient sample numbers)
• % of total collection secure in long term storage/cryo and safety duplicated plus in SGSV for seed crops
7
> 90% Target
Performance Indicators
• % of total collection represented with passport and characterization data online
• Stage (from 1 to 5) in QMS development
• Average overall satisfaction of genebank users
• % of the collection that is disseminated over a 10-yr period
• Cost efficiency (per accession cost, cost per distribution, number staff)

Findings

The majority of genebanks will not meet performance
targets by the end of 2016. We believe that they can
reach targets by 2021 through monitored, rationalized
and fully supported workplans.

Reviewers Comments
“The bank appears at a crossroad. A successful future depends on it being used to maximum potential.” “The operational procedures have grown organically as the need for them arose…The procedures need objective review, critical or redundant areas identified and addressed so that processes are streamlined and fully justifiable” “staff [of two Centers] should engage in discussions and actions that will result in a more rational approach to the conservation of PGR than is presently the case. This should involve the clear delineation of responsibilities for different parts of the genepool, agreement on the archiving of actively managed materials which are held in duplication and concrete mechanisms for closer communication and collaboration, including data sharing and resolution of taxonomic issues.”

“A genebank must be, especially those in the CGIAR system, a reliable repository of germplasm for conservation and access…According to the current procedures, the genebank is clearly failing in delivering…as one third of the material is currently not available even though it is presented on the website. This situation is highly undesirable and has the potential to generate damage in terms of public relations for both the genebank and the entire CGIAR”

Findings
Funding allocations will never be equitable
between Centers nor cost-efficient as long as the
genebanks are running at different levels. We
believe we need to pursue other mechanisms than
the Costing Study.

Fund Disbursement Strategy
Principles and criteria of eligibility • Materials are Annex 1/Art 15, accessible, important within a
rational system Each holder: Ø commits to long term conservation and availability Ø works in partnership towards the global system Ø has links to users Ø has HR & management system to maintain PGR Ø can demonstrate conformity with agreed standards Ø has facilities that are adequate for LTS
24
Potential Funding Structure?
Matching funds:
Overheads, research FCR not related to direct genebank use, capital depreciation
Incentive funding:
Available for activities that go beyond basic genebanking according to performance & use
Fixed base funding:
Basic genebank staff, operations and facility costs

Principles of Partnership
• Financial and performance commitment on both sides
• Based on a Business Plan which describes financing plan of the collection (including cost recovery from use)
• Agreed Acquisition and Curation Policies. Deviations are shared with the CropTrust.
• Performance targets are met before commitment is made for long-term provision of Full Fixed Base Funding
• Transparent mechanism for retraction from agreement
