Crop Trust Presentation of Performance Targets of the CRP and Long Term Grants

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!

• Cooperation 88 - C88

– 400,000 ha in China

– Economic benefits US$ 350 m/yr

• Kasetsart 50 - KU 50

– 1 million hectares in Thailand & Vietnam

– Aggregate economic benefits > US$ 97 million

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

16

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 ina more rational approach to the conservation of PGR than is presently the case.This should involve the clear delineation of responsibilities for different parts ofthe genepool, agreement on the archiving of actively managed materials whichare held in duplication and concrete mechanisms for closer communication andcollaboration, including data sharing and resolution of taxonomic issues.”

Reviewers Comments

“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.

23

Fund Disbursement Strategy

Principles and criteria of eligibility

• Materials are Annex 1/Art 15, accessible, important within a rational system

Each holder:

commits to long term conservation and availability

works in partnership towards the global system

has links to users

has HR & management system to maintain PGR

can demonstrate conformity with agreed standards

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

25

Incentive Funding

Matching Funds

26

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
