This indicator focuses on a national entity (agency, committee, etc.) functioning as a coordination mechanism for PGRFA activities and/or strategies in the country of the reporting National Focal Point (NFP).
It is based on information reported in response to question 13.1 of the Reporting Format for Monitoring the Implementation of the Second Global Plan of Action for PGRFA.
Question 13.1 requests the NFP to provide the national entity (agency, committee, etc.) functioning as a governance structure responsible for coordinating and/or facilitating PGRFA activities in the country, and the year of its establishment. Optionally, it could also be indicated if it governs other genetic resources, its objectives, the categories of stakeholders represented and the frequency of meetings.
Additional information, for example, on the effectiveness and major constraints encountered in the functioning of the coordination entity, or experiences that countries have made with their coordination entity (possibly in the form of reports and/or references) can be reported in the ‘Comment’ box on the page of the indicator associated to this question.
The information is provided according to a table as described below.
