BookletThe Benefit-sharing Fund: 2022–2023 report 2023Since its establishment in 2009, the Benefit-sharing Fund has supported 81 projects in 67 developing countries. In addition, a new portfolio of 28 projects are selected to start in the fifth cycle of the Fund. This report provides a summary of the main steps taken to approve the new portfolio, including an overview of the approved projects. It also gives an account of the main results and good practices arising from the implementation of ongoing projects and contains updates on relevant communication, governance and financial aspects. The report is intended to contribute to raising awareness among policymakers, donors and other relevant stakeholders on the dynamic nature of the funding modality, which supports the implementation of interventions and uses funds strategically to play a catalytic role in international cooperation in the area of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. More detailed reports describing the implementation progress in each funding cycle are provided to the Standing Committee on the Funding Strategy and Resource Mobilization of the International Treaty.

Book (stand-alone)Survey of access and benefit-sharing country measures accommodating the distinctive features of genetic resources for food and agriculture and associated traditional knowledge
Background Study Paper No. 70
2023Also available in:
No results found.The Commission, at its Seventeenth Regular Session, requested its Secretary to prepare, for review by the Commission’s intergovernmental technical working groups: an up-to-date survey of existing legislative, administrative and policy approaches, including best practices, for access and benefit sharing (ABS) for the different subsectors of genetic resources for food and agriculture (GRFA) and traditional knowledge associated with GRFA held by Indigenous Peoples and local communities, with the aim of identifying typical approaches and lessons learned from their implementation, as well as challenges and possible solutions. The current survey comprises a baseline desktop review of legislation, policy and literature. It provides a review of how countries address the distinctive features of GRFA and traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources for food and agriculture (TKGRFA) based on the letter of their ABS legislative, administrative and policy measures rather than on how these measures have been implemented in practice. It therefore does not provide an analysis of the state of implementation, the challenges involved and possible solutions to these challenges. As such, it aims to provide a basis for future empirical research on how ABS measures work in practice for GRFA subsectors. A specific objective is to provide a typology of legislative, administrative and policy measures applying to ABS for GRFA and TKGRFA.
