Monitoring the implementation of the Second Global Plan of Action for PGRFA

Stefano Diulgheroff Plant Production and Protection Division, FAO

Background on GPA Monitoring

An efficient GPA monitoring system is important in terms of planning, priority-setting and for the mobilization of financial resources to support national programmes (‘97; ‘99; ‘02; ‘04).

Adoption in 2004 of 83 core indicators and a reporting format for monitoring implementation of the 20 Priority Activities of the GPA.

.. on GPA Monitoring

a country driven, participatory and capacity-building process which led to the establishment of National Information Sharing Mechanisms (NISM) in 75 countries

GPA monitoring -> in 24 languages with the active participation of > 1,200 stakeholders

Monitoring the Second GPA

CGRFA-14: to agree on targets and indicators as well as on reporting format for monitoring the implementation of the Second GPA, building on previous work done by the CommissionCGRFA-13 requested FAO to: • review existing indicators• identify or develop higher-order indicators and • propose targets for PGRFA

About monitoring

CGRFA-13 and Council-143

Second GPA “315. Overall progress on implementation […]

will be monitored and guided by governments and other FAO Members through the Commission.

[…] A 1st review of its implementation should be undertaken at 15th Regular Session, including an assessment of its achievements as well as gaps and financial and other needs for its implementation

Monitoring the Second GPA

Supporting component of the International Treaty.

GPA Monitoring will also help the IT GB to monitor the implementation of the Treaty.

and CBD Aichi Target 13

Targets and Indicators for monitoring Second GPA

Result of a collaborative process involving FAO (AGP, CGRFA and IT Secretariats), GCDT, CGIAR (Bioversity Int.; CIAT; ILRI)

Expert consultation -> INIA (Madrid) April 2012

Preparation of targets and indicators

CGRFA-14 on Second GPA monitoring

Adopted • 63 indicators for monitoring the Second GPA are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound to the specific reporting period and intended to measure progress at national level

• 3 targets for PGRFA, addressing the main objectives of the Second GPA: 1) conservation, 2) sustainable use and 3) capacity development

mutually supportive, in line with the Aichi Target 13

CGRFA-14 on Second GPA monitoring

Asked FAO

• 3 composite indices to provide a synthetic picture of the progress with regards to the three targets;

Decided

• first assessment of the implementation of the Second GPA due for CGRFA-16

CGRFA-14 on Second GPA monitoring

Stressed• integration of Second GPA monitoring and

preparation of The Third Report on the State of the World’s Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture;

Endorsed• the proposed timeline for the Second GPA

monitoring and the preparation of The Third Report

3 Targets for PGRFA•Conservation Target By 2020, an increasing proportion of the genetic diversity of cultivated plants and their wild relatives, as well as of wild food plant species is maintained in situ, on farm and ex situ in a complementary manner

•Sustainable Use Target By 2020, there has been an increased use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture to improve sustainable crop production intensification and livelihoods while reducing genetic vulnerability of crops and cropping systems

•Institutional and Human Capacities Target By 2020, many more people are aware of the values of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture and institutional and human capacities are strengthened to conserve and use them sustainably while minimizing genetic erosion and safeguarding their genetic diversity
