Major Tasks to Complete the Process • complete the CRs; • prepare the DraftReport on Strategic Priorities for Action; • complete thematic studies; • prepare for and, undertake the regional consultations; • review the first draft of the first Report on the SoW-AnGR State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources
Follow up Mechanism • mobilization of financial resources • providing support in project design, development and submission to relevant funding agencies • enhancing the understanding of animal genetic resources roles and values and their contribution to food and agriculture State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources
Follow up Mechanism Immediate outputs: • A funding strategy for implementation of Strategic Priorities for Action for animal genetic resources. • A portfolio of projects to address immediate priority needs identified in Country Reports and in the draft Report onStrategic Priorities for Action. • A website with information on potential donors, their requirements and procedures, ongoing projects and projects in the pipeline, and sample project proposals. • Global and regional communication strategies on animal genetic resources. • Communications products (videos, leaflets, posters, and CDs) describing the roles, functions and values of animal genetic resources.
