Output target B.5: Germplasm <strong>of</strong> small millets assembled and conserved for utilization at Regional<br />

Genebanks <strong>in</strong> Africa (2009)<br />

Activity B.5.1: Identify collection gaps for f<strong>in</strong>ger millet <strong>in</strong> ESA and conduct collection mission to fill gaps<br />

Milestone B.5.1.1: Gaps <strong>in</strong> f<strong>in</strong>ger millet collection identified and filled <strong>in</strong> at least 2 countries <strong>in</strong> ESA<br />

(MAM/SGM, 2009)<br />

Activity B.5.2: Facilities improved at <strong>ICRISAT</strong> Niamey genebank for safety back up collections <strong>of</strong> small<br />

millets<br />

Milestone B.5.2.1: Storage facilities for <strong>the</strong> safety back up <strong>of</strong> small millet collections improved at Niamey,<br />

Niger (BH/HDU/CLLG, 2007)<br />

Upgrad<strong>in</strong>g storage modules: 8 new deep freezers received <strong>in</strong> <strong>2006</strong> and <strong>in</strong>stalled (total <strong>of</strong> 20 deep freezers now<br />

function<strong>in</strong>g at Niamey genebank).<br />

Activity B.6.1: Update germplasm databases <strong>of</strong> small millets<br />

Milestone B.6.1.1: Passport, characterization and evaluation data <strong>of</strong> small millets germplasm documented<br />

(HDU, 2007)<br />
