Outputs Intended Users Outcome Impact
Niamey)
Target 2010: Materials 2.1.2
85% of germplasm
characterized and
documented for utilization
Target 2011: Materials 2.1.1
Germplasm of staple crops
regenerated (2000
accessions) for conservation
and distribution
Output 2
Germplasm of six small
millets assembled and
conserved germplasm
characterized/evaluated
and documented for
utilization and knowledge
shared with partners
Parties to CBD and IT, Crop
Diversity Trust, SGRP,
Bioversity International,
Generation CP partners,
NARS, Universities, ARIs and
the Svalbard Repository
i) Germplasm safely
conserved for present and
future use, ii) Partners have
the most up-to-date
knowledge and secure access
to the largest collection of
well-characterized genetic
diversity of six small millet
crops of SAT in the world and
use this internationally to
improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of their breeding
programs, and iii) Small
millets germplasm with
desirable traits including high
grain quality known.
i) Risks to food security in the
SAT are strongly reduced as
crop researchers have had
access to diverse germplasm
to develop improved broad
genetic based cultivars, and
ii) Biodiversity of six small
millets is sustained for current
and future generations
Target 2009: Materials 2.2.1
Gaps in finger millet collection
identified and potentially filled
in at least two countries in
ESA
Target 2009: Other kinds of
knowledge
