THIRD CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Benefit-sharing Fund of the
International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and
Agriculture
1. INTRODUCTION
The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Treaty) aims to
promote and support the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources for food and
agriculture and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from their use, in harmony with
the Convention on Biological Diversity.
The Treaty provides for a Funding Strategy, which aims to enhance the availability, transparency,
efficiency and effectiveness of the provision of financial resources for the implementation of the
Treaty. It includes a Benefit-sharing Fund (Fund) that holds those financial resources for benefit-
sharing that are under the direct control of the Governing Body of the Treaty.
The Contracting Parties of the Treaty have agreed that priority for the allocation of financial
resources from the Fund will be given to implementing agreed plans and programmes for farmers in
developing countries who conserve and sustainably use plant genetic resources for food and
agriculture.
The Governing Body uses the funds in the Benefit-sharing Fund strategically, to play a catalytic role
in international cooperation in the conservation and use of plant genetic resources. The Governing
Body at its Second Session adopted three priorities for the Benefit-sharing Fund, based on FAO's
Global Plan of Action for the Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources
for Food and Agriculture. These priorities, which remain valid for this current call for proposals, are:
1. Information exchange, technology transfer and capacity-building;
2. Managing and conserving plant genetic resources on farm; and,
3. The sustainable use of plant genetic resources.
Since there is limited funding available, projects selected must have a large impact on the visibility
for the Benefit-sharing Fund and the Treaty at political, policy and technical conferences and
stakeholder forums in order to raise awareness about how monetary and non-monetary benefit-
sharing under the Treaty is functioning.
2. BACKGROUND TO THE THIRD CALL FOR PROPOSALS.
2.1 Thematic Focus
There is widespread agreement that climate change represents one of the greatest threats to
agriculture and food security. The Governing Body has emphasized the importance of using the
Fund to help enhance sustainable food security by assisting farmers to adapt to climate change.


Thus the focus and scope of projects to be funded in this Third Call for Proposals will remain similar to
those supported in the Second Call. The Fund will provide financial resources for a targeted set of
programmes, projects and activities of high potential impact that help farmers adapt to climate change
through the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.
2.2 Overview and timeline of project cycle
The Fund follows a process of calling for pre-proposals and selecting from among them the proposing
institutions that will be invited to submit a full proposal. Approximately 2x the number of full
proposals are invited compared to the number finally funded, i.e. each applicant at the full proposal
stage has an approximately 50% chance of being funded.
Following are the steps to be followed in this Third Call for Proposals for the submission and approval
of project pre-proposals and full proposals. Find below indicative dates by which steps important for
applicants are to be completed. Further information on the process is presented in Appendix 1.
1. Submission of pre-proposals, through National Focal Points, Permanent Representatives or other
official channels to FAO, received by the Secretariat of the Treaty.
Deadline: 5 May 2014;
2. Invitations to submit full project proposals sent out by the Secretariat: 7 July 2014;
3. Submission of full project proposals, through National Focal Points, Permanent Representatives to
FAO or other official channels, received by the Secretariat of the Treaty. Deadline: 8 September
2014;
4. Announcement of projects to be funded. Deadline: 17 November 2014.
2.3 Funds available and type of projects to be funded
While the exact amount of funding available for the Third Call for Proposals is not yet finalized, it is
expected to be at least US$ 10 million. The target will be to dedicate more funding to the multi-country
projects, rather than to single-country projects.
2.4 Applicants
Pre-proposals may be submitted by governmental or non-governmental organizations in Contracting
Parties eligible to apply for support, as listed in Appendix 2.
Any governmental or non-governmental organization, including farmers and farmers' organizations,
genebanks and research institutions, as well as regional and international organizations, based in
countries that are Contracting Parties to the International Treaty, may apply for grants under the
Benefit-sharing Fund. Applicants must meet the eligibility criteria established by the Governing Body
1

and found in section 4.1 of this Call for Proposals.
2.5 Submissions
All applications must be submitted through the recognized authorities of an eligible Contracting Party
of the Treaty, i.e. through the National Focal Points or the Permanent Representatives to FAO. A list of
National Focal Points and Permanent Representatives to FAO of eligible Contracting Parties is
included in Appendix 3.
All applications must be made using the Submission Form for pre-proposals in Appendix 4. Pre-
proposals may be submitted in any of the Treaty languages, plus, where necessary, a translation to a
working language (English, French, Spanish), as stipulated by the Operational Procedures adopted by
the Governing Body.

proposals. More information about the Helpdesk function is provided in Appendix 1.
3. WINDOWS OF THE THIRD CALL FOR PROPOSALS 3.1
Overview of Funding Windows
In the Second Call for Proposals, there were two funding windows: Window 1: The Development of
Strategic Action Plans, and Window 2: Immediate Action Projects. Through this process, however, the
co-development and transfer of technologies did not receive the substantive and coherent focus
expected by the Contracting Parties. It was thus decided that for this Third Call for Proposals, an
additional funding window, Window 3, would be opened up specifically to support the co-development
and transfer of technology. This will enhance non-monetary benefit-sharing by enhancing technology
transfer, capacity building and information exchange as foreseen in the first priority of the Benefit-
sharing Fund.
As a consequence of opening this additional window, and as a result of the need to learn lessons from
the implementation of current projects, Window 1 will not be operative during this Third Call for
Proposals.
In summary, the Third Call for Proposals will be implemented through two funding windows:
Window 2: Immediate Action Projects, and
Window 3: The Co-development and Transfer of Technology.
More information about each of these windows is given below, together with information on projects
that combine activities covered by both windows.
3.2 Window 2: Support to the Implementation of Immediate Action Projects Rationale
Plant genetic resources for food and agriculture underpin farmers' efforts to achieve sustainable food
security, but this objective is made significantly more difficult by the adverse effects of climate change.
For many developing countries climate change poses what is arguably the most serious threat to
agriculture and is already leading to less predictable harvests and the emergence of new pests and
diseases. In many areas such change is beginning to undermine rural development, resulting in greater
pressures on the most vulnerable farming communities, those that are least able to cope with extreme
weather events such as floods or droughts, and by shifts in the timing and duration of growing seasons.
Managing and sustainably deploying plant genetic diversity is one of the key - and often one of the very
few - options available to resource-poor farmers in their efforts to adapt their farming systems to
climate change. However, greatly increased attention and support are needed if farmers are to reap the
full benefits of genetic diversity. Such attention needs to also take into account the key role that women
play in agricultural production and processing in most parts of the developing world. The genepool of
the Multilateral System offers huge opportunities for introducing new diversity to respond to farmers
needs, and the diversity that already exists on- farm must be wisely used and conserved.
Recognizing that no country is self sufficient in the plant genetic resources needed for its food and
agriculture, it is important that institutions work together across national boundaries. Thus, efforts at
the local and national level need to be supported and supplemented through multi-country, regional and
international approaches if plant genetic diversity is to be wisely and efficiently conserved and used.

Such approaches enhance the delivery of non-monetary benefit-sharing mechanisms of the Treaty:
access to and transfer of technology, capacity-building and exchange of information.
Scope
The primary beneficiaries of projects supported through Window 2 will be resource-poor rural
populations in the target countries. Projects will aim primarily to strengthen the on-farm conservation
and management of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture through appropriate action,
primarily at the farm and community levels. The interventions developed and introduced will have the
potential for making a significant impact in the short term and will include such activities as climate
analysis; community action to conserve local varieties; the introduction and testing of new varieties;
plant breeding and selection by farmers and rural communities carried out in partnership with
professional plant breeders; and the development and promotion of appropriate seed production and
dissemination systems.
In order to complement such direct, on the ground action interventions, it is important that projects
have strong scientific and policy back up. Proposals may thus also include supporting activities in areas
such as linking with national and international genebanks, information exchange, policy development
and capacity building.
In addition, and in order to maximize the potential impact of projects supported by the Fund, all
proposals are expected to include activities designed to share and exchange genetic materials,
technologies, information and lessons learned and facilitate training to support further replication of
relevant activities after project conclusion. Proposals are expected to focus on plant genetic resources
for food and agriculture listed in Annex I of the Treaty. Other plant genetic resources that are significant
for local food security and adaptation to climate change can only be included if they are important for
the development of diversification strategies (see supporting outputs below).
Support from the Benefit-sharing Fund must be consistent with national and regional strategies, action
plans and priorities. Projects funded will contribute to improve adaptation to climate change and
enhance food security of resources-poor farmers in selected developing countries, by strengthening the
sustainable management of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.
Expected outputs
Key outputs expected from Immediate Action Projects funded through Window 2 may include:
Community conservation systems developed (e.g. community seed banks), recognizing different
gender roles, that ensure the long-term survival of locally adapted landraces and farmer varieties,
as well as the local knowledge related to them;
Stronger links with national, regional and international genebanks, to underpin conservation
measures at the local level and to make local materials more widely available to the
Multilateral System;
New varieties and other genetic material introduced, tested and the best disseminated; in particular
materials from the genepool of the Multilateral System, from national genebanks, public and
private breeding programmes and through exchange with other rural communities;
New varieties developed through participatory breeding methods in which farmers, including
women farmers where appropriate, work together with professional plant breeders from national,
regional and international institutions. Such varieties will be widely adopted, meeting local needs
and circumstances and, in particular, have traits that enable farmers to better meet the challenges
of climate change;
Seed production, seed quality determination and dissemination systems developed and
successfully introduced including, if needed, the promotion of quality seed production by private
and/or public bodies, and the widespread testing and distribution of seeds through commercial or
other channels;
In the case of multi-country programmes, genetic material, technologies and associated
knowledge and capacities co-developed and transferred by the participating institutions and
local communities of countries involved.

In the case of single-country projects, genetic material and technologies, as well as lessons
learned and other information shared with local communities and institutions elsewhere in
the country.
In addition to these key outputs, limited funding will also be available for complementary and supportive
outputs that might include, for example:
Stronger links forged with research and development institutions in the region and globally;
A better understanding of likely future environmental conditions, and information systems to keep
local communities appraised of the possible negative consequences of climate change and how
they can be alleviated through the wise management of plant genetic resources;
Strategies developed for the diversification of local agricultural and food systems through the
use of a wider range of locally adapted crops and varieties;
Information relevant to policy setting disseminated to appropriate opinion and policymakers;
The capacity of local and national institutions strengthened to better understand and
respond to the probable effects of climate change and to better conserve, manage, improve
and disseminate plant genetic resources;
Links with rural communities in other areas strengthened, especially with those that currently face
environmental conditions that are likely to prevail in the home area in the future.
SINGLE-COUNTRY PROJECTS
I nstitutional setting
In the case of "single-country" projects, organizations based in the developing Contracting Party will
collaborate by bringing together complementary expertise to improve the livelihoods of a targeted set of
rural communities. Additional partners may help to share the results and lessons learned within and
outside the country. A "typical" project might involve, for example, a nongovernmental organization
working in partnership with national research institution or university working in partnership to build
capacity of farmers in participatory plant breeding.
Expected size
The cost of these Immediate Action Projects will be between US$ 150,000 and US$ 300,000 for
projects involving a single country.
Duration
Immediate Action Projects involving a single country shall run for a maximum of three years.
MULTI-COUNTRY PROJECTS I nstitutional setting
In the case of "multi-country projects", a consortium of institutions will come together to help resolve
a similar problem being faced in different countries. A typical project will have a large number of
farmers in different eligible countries directly benefiting from the actions supported. The consortium
will include local or national partners of the countries targeted with regional or international partners
that have complementary skills, know-how and understanding of the local needs and aspirations of
rural communities. The lead institution in the project will be based in a developing Contracting Party
of the Treaty.
Expected size
The cost of Immediate Action Projects will be between US$ 400,000 and US$ 800,000 for multi-
country, regional and international projects.
Duration
Immediate Action Projects involving multiple countries shall run for a maximum of four years.

3.3 Window 3: Support to the Co-development and Transfer of Technology Rationale
Technologies are being developed or are already available at institutions throughout the world, South
and North, public and private, which could make a very significant contribution to the conservation and
use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture in developing countries. Identifying such
technologies and promoting their transfer has been seen by the Governing Body of the Treaty, since its
outset, as a key component of the overall benefit-sharing strategy and an important area for support by
the Benefit-sharing Fund.
Transfer of technology does not generally take place in isolation but in the context of a 'package' of
activities, which, apart to the technology itself, also includes information exchange and capacity
building. In addition, technology transfer and information exchange also often require policy and
infrastructural support. Technology needs to be understood in a very wide sense and its
transfer should aim to solve important problems rather than seek to impose specific solutions, i.e. there
should be a 'demand pull' rather than a 'technology push'. To help ensure this happens, the developing
country 'beneficiary' institutions will be responsible for identifying the problem to be addressed and
proposing the solutions to overcome these problems.
The likelihood of technologies being relevant to the needs of poor rural communities in developing
countries may be increased if they have been developed jointly by partner institutions having
complementary expertise and resources, including partners in developing Contracting Parties who are
working with farming communities. This likelihood can be further increased by focusing on key emerging
technologies and information resources which will have a strong impact on the livelihoods of farmers and
have not yet been fully integrated by institutions in developing Contracting Parties, such as technologies
and information repositories for the combined use of genomic sequence data, phenotypic, accession-level
and other data providing inputs for the improved use of PGRFA. International data repositories and
regional hubs for making such integrated information and technologies available to beneficiary institutions
in developing Contracting Parties, who work directly with farmers, now exist and are being further
developed. Projects may connect lead beneficiary institutions to these repositories and hubs, and transfer to
them the skills and technologies they need to identify and make use of the benefits which these new tools
might provide for farmers in their countries.
Important benefits arising from the co-development and transfer of technologies, in addition to the
technology itself, are the building of capacity in the lead institution through increased human capital (e.g.
through participatory learning), strengthened infrastructure (e.g. through provision of key items of
equipment), and useful information generated by transferred technologies (e.g. when applied to the needs
of farmers and other local agricultural stakeholders). For example, this applies particularly to technologies
which can help to develop climate-ready crops for farmers by generating, integrating and exchanging
value-added phenotypic, molecular and environmental data about food crops most relevant for local
farmers.
At the same time, information exchange and technology transfer are increasingly connected. On the one
hand, technology development increasingly draws upon high value-added information about plant genetic
resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA). On the other hand, the creation of PGRFA information, such
as molecular, phenotypic and genotypic information, is increasingly technology-intensive. This window
will therefore seek to focus on the transfer of technologies which create such value-added information for
the development of climate-ready traits and plant varieties for the benefit of farmers in developing
Contracting Parties.
Although described as a largely 'non-monetary' benefit, in many cases the co-development and transfer of
technology cannot be achieved without a certain amount of catalytic funding. Window 3 will thus provide a
channel for supporting key activities in this area.
Scope
Projects supported through Window 3 will aim to promote international cooperation in support of the
Treaty by linking institutions across national boundaries. Funding will be provided for both the co-
development and transfer of key technologies which will enable the exchange of value added information
about PGRFA, and in particular those that are related to the use of species in the genepool of the
Multilateral System. Projects are thus expected, as in the case of Window 2, to focus on plant genetic
resources for food and agriculture listed in Annex I of the Treaty.

Even though the primary ' beneficiary' will be, in the first instance, the lead institution in a developing
country Contracting Party, technologies to be co-developed and/or transferred with support from Window 3
must have the potential to make a significant impact on the conservation and/or use of plant genetic
resources by resource-poor rural communities. Special attention should be paid to technologies which
generate information and germplasm that could enhance the ability of farmers to adapt to climate change,
especially through increased resistance to drought, heat and associated biotic stresses. Projects will involve
a partnership between the institution or institutions located in developing Contracting Parties, and
institutions from either the private or public sector in another Contracting Party (South or North). Research
institutions and gene banks in developing countries that are Contracting Parties have to be actively
involved in these partnerships and participation and knowledge sharing with farmers needs to be ensured.
There is a multitude of possible areas that would benefit from the co-development and transfer of
technology, from bioinformatics to biotechnologies to seed production systems. In the area of bioinformatic
technologies, the involvement of international repositories and regional hubs for relevant data in the co-
development and transfer project will be particularly important.
Where projects give rise to, or make use of, protected technology (e.g. genes or processes), all appropriate
legislation and regulations regarding intellectual property protection must be adhered to. In addition, all
projects must comply with relevant legislation and regulations concerning human and environmental
safety. All materials developed through projects funded by the Benefit- sharing Fund must be available to
the Multilateral System through the use of the Standard Material Transfer Agreement. Information
generated by funded projects must be made publicly available through the information system provided
through Article 17 of the Treaty with the expectation that such exchange of information will contribute to
the sharing of benefits by making information available to all Contracting Parties.
Projects funded will contribute to improve adaptation to climate change and enhance food security of
resources-poor farmers in selected developing countries, by strengthening the sustainable management of
plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.
Expected outputs
Outputs expected from Co-development and Transfer of Technology Projects funded through Window 3
may include, for example:
Local varieties genetically analysed to discover the presence of potentially useful alleles, with
such alleles exploited in the development of new varieties adapted to climate change;
Germplasm phenotyped for traits of potential value, particularly those relevant for farmers'
adaptation to climate change;
Marker assisted selection systems to facilitate breeding for traits that are important for adaptation
to climate change;
Potentially useful breeding populations developed through crossing with crop wild relatives
having traits that are useful for adaptation to climate change; new, locally- adapted varieties
bred from these populations;
Information created, disseminated and accessed by lead institutions on scientific, technical and
environmental matters related to plant genetic resources for food and agriculture, including
genotypic and phenotypic data;
The capacity of the lead developing country institutions strengthened to use information
management systems that support the discovery and use of traits that facilitate adaptation to the
possible effects of climate change;
Technologies transferred, co-developed and deployed to support use of bioinformatics tools
by beneficiary institutions for exchange of information on plant genetic resources for food and
agriculture;
specialized tools available, transferred and deployed for integrated data analysis and interpretation
of germplasm, genomic and phenotypic data by the lead institution and local stakeholders,
needs of farmers and agricultural stakeholders identified and contributed to the development of
international or regional data repositories, and other components of the Global Information
System under article 17 of the Treaty;
Methods and techniques for appropriate and regionally adapted seed quality testing
systems for ensuring supply of high quality seeds to farmers;

Training delivered to developing country scientists and stakeholders and fellowships granted to
a new generation of researchers to support delivery of non-monetary benefit- sharing as
promoted by the International Treaty;
Lessons learned on technology transfer models explored for further replication by all partners,
including at national, regional and international levels.
SINGLE-COUNTRY PROJECTS
I nstitutional setting
In the case of "single-country" projects, a leading developing Contracting Party "beneficiary" institution
will be responsible for identifying a problem to be addressed in its country and a partner in another country
that has complementary know-how, technologies and information. The "beneficiary" institution will submit
the pre-proposal and will be the lead institution in the project. A "typical" project might involve, for
example, a national research institution in a developing country - the lead institution - working in
partnership with a research institute elsewhere, to develop a particular item of technology and transferring
it to the lead institution for further adaptation, testing, use and dissemination. Indeed, in some cases three
way partnerships (partner institution - local lead institution - local rural community) might well be the best
means of developing appropriate technologies.
Expected size of projects
The cost of these Co-development and Transfer of Technology Projects will be between US$ 80,000 and
US$ 150,000.
Duration
Co-development and Transfer of Technology Projects targeting a single country shall run for a maximum
of two years.
MULTI-COUNTRY PROJECTS I nstitutional setting
In the case of "multi-country projects", a consortium of institutions will come together to help resolve a
similar problem being faced in different eligible countries. A typical project would support a lead
institution in a developing Contracting Party to partner with institutions or consortia, which are creating
integrated repositories of genomic, phenomic and germplasm data, in order to transfer and co-develop
technologies which will allow the use of such data for the lead institution (e.g., customized data analysis-,
interpretation- and other bioinformatic tools). This will allow the lead institution to access, interpret, and
apply the genomic, phenomic and germplasm data available in the repositories in an integrated manner in
order to address the needs of local farmers, as well as of local researchers and breeders. As a result of these
projects developing country institutions will be able to identify, articulate and translate the needs of these
local stakeholders into technical and management specifications for these emerging models of technology
transfer and information exchange, including for the development and use of international data repositories
and other components of the Global Information System under article 17 of the Treaty. The supported
consortia will include national partners of the beneficiary countries partnering with regional or
international partners who have complementary technologies and information, and are operating or
creating large-scale data hubs and repositories. The partners in the consortium will work together in the co-
development and utilization of technologies that enable the utilization of PGRFA for the generation,
exchange and utilization of molecular, phenotypic and genotypic information. For example, partner
institutions work together to co- develop and transfer a technology and generate the associated information
required to develop a drought or heat resistance in a locally important smallholder crop, by genomic
sequencing work and using resulting data with phenotypic information about the characterized germplasm.
The lead institution in the project will be based in a developing Contracting Party of the Treaty.
Expected size
The cost of these Co-development and Transfer of Technology Projects will be between US$ 200,000
and US$ 500,000 for multi-country, regional and international projects.
Duration

Co-development and Transfer of Technology Projects targeting multiple countries shall run for a
maximum of three years.

The Helpdesk function:
The Governing Body, at its Fourth Session, welcomed the establishment of the Helpdesk function to
support the elaboration of pre-proposals and full project proposals during the second round of the
project cycle, and, with regard to future rounds of the project cycle, acknowledged the important
contribution of Helpdesk functions, language facilities, as well as support workshops, to ensure an
inclusive process to which all regions feel committed.
In light of this, the Third Call for Proposals will again establish a Helpdesk function. The Helpdesk
will carry out workshops to support the preparation of full project proposals for all Regions with
developing countries. To address the special needs of under-represented regions, the Helpdesk will
provide language facilities in Arabic during the entire application process, in addition to the official
languages of the Benefit-sharing Fund. Further, the support workshops will be targeted primarily at
applicants from regions that have so far been under-represented among recipients from the Benefit-
sharing Fund (Europe, Near East and South West Pacific) and applicants from other regions'
Contracting Parties that have not yet received any resources from the Benefit-sharing Fund.
Specifically, the Helpdesk of the Third Call for Proposals will:
provide assistance by email and over the phone regarding the preparation of pre- proposals and full
proposals, in Arabic, English, French and Spanish; and
conduct support workshops focussing on the preparation of full project proposals, for applicants
invited to prepare full proposals from regions and Contracting Parties that have so far been
under-represented among the recipients of support from the Benefit- sharing Fund.

APPENDIX 4: SUBMISSION FORM FOR PRE-PROPOSALS
Notes: The Submission Form for Pre-proposals can be downloaded at:
http://www.planttreaty.org/content/bsfcall3
Guidelines for Submission of Pre-proposals can be downloaded at:
http://www.planttreaty.org/content/bsfcall3
APPENDIX 5: INFORMATION ON PROJECT AGREEMENTS
Once applicants have passed the pre-proposal stage, and their full proposals have been favourably
appraised and approved for funding, a project agreement will be signed by the executing entity of the
project and the Secretariat of the Treaty. The project agreement follows the structure and content of
the FAO template for Letters of Agreements. It consists of an introductory part with general
conditions, and an annex that integrates the project proposal. In addition to the general provisions of
the FAO template, however, the project proposals contain some additional provisions that are
specifically tailored to the needs of the Benefit-sharing Fund.
These specific provisions include the agreement (1) to make all plant genetic resources for food and
agriculture listed in Annex I of the International Treaty that are within the scope of the project
available according to the terms and conditions of the Multilateral System of Access and Benefit-
sharing; and (2) to make all information generated by the project publicly available within one year
from the date of completion of the project.
Funds are disbursed to executing entities in tranche payments. The first payment (generally no more
of 30% of total funds) will be made upon receipt by the Secretary of the signed project agreement.
Subsequent disbursements are scheduled in the Letter of Agreement and are conditional on receipt
and approval by the Secretary of implementation reports, which includes both technical and financial
information. A terminal report will be submitted within ninety (90) days of completion of the project
implementation and the last payment will generally be no less than 20% of the total funds. The last
payment will also be conditional on the inclusion of material in the Multilateral System.
In addition, the project agreements stipulate that a terminal independent evaluation of the project
portfolio will be conducted at the end of the project cycle, and that executing entities will collaborate
with the evaluation team in the conduct of the evaluation.
More information on the project agreements will be provided at the Helpdesk workshops.
