Summary Note
|
The benefit-sharing fund provides two funding windows. One will provide financial support for
the development of strategic action plans to adapt plant genetic resources for food and agriculture to
climate change. The second window will provide financial support for the implementation of immediate
action projects. The projects could be of any value but would not exceed US$300,000. The immediate
action projects will run for a maximum of two years.
