  8. FAO TechnicalCooperationProgramme (TCP) Aim: providing FAO technical expertise to Member countries through targeted, short-term, catalytic projects Theseprojectsaddress technical problems in the field of agriculture, fisheries, forestry and rural livelihood that prevent Member countries, either individually or collectively, from implementing their development programmes TCP projects should produce tangible and immediate results in a cost-effective manner. They support improved food security and poverty alleviation, and should catalyse long-term development changes.

  9. TCPFacility (TCPf) Aim: to respond to government requests for urgent small-scale technical assistance activities Umbrella project addressingmultiplerequests for specific and very short-term assistance in a technical area Objectives: rapidly solving a specific technical problem for which the expertise may not be immediately available within government services; formulating project proposals or documents for submission to potential funding sources, including TCP ; preparing background documents, or carrying out small sector- and subsector-related studies or assessments.

  10. TCPFacility (TCPf) Therecan be onlyoneTCPf project per country/region/subregion and per biennium Maximum funding: 200,000 USD/biennium

  11. TCPf project: “Responsible use and development of aquatic genetic resources in the Central and Eastern European and the Caucasus Region: status and needs for capacity development” Duration: 2 years Participants: countries of NACEE and theCaucasusregion Objectives :To assess the use and development of aquatic genetic resources in Central and Eastern Europe To develop a country-wise sub-regional inventory for currentlyorpotentiallyusedaquatic genetic resources To identify the status and needs for capacity development regarding the management of aquatic genetic resources in Central and Eastern Europe. Output: outline of a comprehensiveregional project

  12. TCPf project: “Responsible use and development of aquatic genetic resources in the Central and Eastern European and the Caucasus Region: status and needs for capacity development” Officialrequestforthe project should be receivedfromthe line ministries/responsibleagencies of atleastthreecountries Contacted: Albania, Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine Armenia, Georgia Tothemoment, requestreceivedonlyfrom Moldova, effortsare made tospeeduptheprocess
