No full textThis final evaluation examines the project "Towards Sustainable Management of the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem - Initial support to the strategic action progrramme". The project's objective was to "create favorable conditions for the effective implementation of the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) for the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem". The project played a crucial role in establishing these favorable conditions for SAP implementation. It achieved several milestones aimed at fostering future collaboration among institutions, including recommendations for the establishment of a governance body, a financing strategy, a regional operational plan for SAP implementation, and operational plans for each of the seven beneficiary coastal states, as well as a training module for coastal communities on the ecosystem approach to fisheries management

No full textInsights and key figures 2025
No full textThis report provides an overview of developments in the implementation and operations of the Multilateral System of Access and Benefit-sharing over the past 18 years (1 January 2007 –1 January 2025). In response to a request from the Governing Body, it offers a structured and integrated analysis of data, examining the Multilateral System from multiple perspectives to better understand its practical functioning. In addition to detailed information on available materials and germplasm transfers, the report includes illustrative narratives that highlight the system’s real-world relevance and impact. A key objective of this report is to enhance visibility for the many contributors who sustain the Multilateral System. It acknowledges the essential roles played by gene banks, farmers, CPs and other institutions in maintaining the flow of germplasm across borders. Adopting a multistakeholder lens, the report brings together diverse viewpoints from across the plant genetic resources community. Through selected case studies and testimonials, it illustrates how the system operates in practice by drawing on the experiences of: • gene bank staff managing and distributing vital genetic resources; • farmers who have contributed to and benefited from improved crop varieties; • national focal points coordinating implementation efforts; • policymakers contributing to decision-making efforts; • plant breeders developing new varieties for sustainable food production; and • researchers studying, evaluating and documenting materials to enhance their value. This document also combines data and statistics that have been included in the Report on the Implementation and Operations of the Multilateral System (IT/GB-11/29.1) presented to the Governing Body, as well as additional information and insights targeting the above-mentioned stakeholders. The information is intended to sustain a broader dialogue that has unfolded over many years, reflecting the collective commitment to improving the Multilateral System’s functionality and long-term viability. The report serves both as an informational resource and an advocacy tool. It highlights stories of women and men, and pairs practical applications with rigorous data analysis to make the concepts of plant genetic resource exchange through the Multilateral System more tangible and relatable

Assessment of the implementation of Pakistan’s National Action Plan on antimicrobial resistance in the agriculture and food sectors
No full textThe agriculture and food (agrifood) sectors play key roles in the emergence, spread, andcontainment of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Pakistan’s first National Action Plan (NAP) on AMRwas developed to guide One Health interventions to combat AMR through 2017–2022. To improvesubsequent iterations, we assessed the implementation of Pakistan’s NAP in the agrifood sectors(NAPag) in October 2022, using the Progressive Management Pathway on AMR tool developed bythe Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The assessment tool addressedfour crucial focus areas of the NAPag: governance, awareness, evidence, and practices. Each focusarea contains multiple topics, which involve four sequential stages of activities to progressivelyachieve systematic management of AMR risk in the agrifood sectors. High-level representatives of theNAPag stakeholders provided information for the assessment through pre-event documentary reviewand workshop discussions. The assessment results showed that Pakistan’s NAPag had an overallmoderate coverage (59%) of the anticipated activities. Gaps were particularly notable in strengtheninggovernance, good practices, and interventions in non-livestock sectors. Furthermore, only 12% of theevaluated activities were fully executed and documented, consistently remaining at the planningand piloting stages in the livestock sector across all the examined topics. Insufficient attention tonon-livestock sectors, inadequate regulation and enforcement capacity, and resource constraints havehindered scalable and sustainable interventions under the current plan. This assessment providesvaluable insights to strengthen the inclusiveness and contribution of the agrifood sectors in the nextNAP iteration. In the short-to-medium term, strategic prioritization is necessary to optimize theuse of limited resources and target the most critical gaps, such as improving awareness among keystakeholders and fortifying regulations for prudent antimicrobial use. In the long term, integration ofAMR into the country’s broader health, development, and agricultural transformation agendas willbe needed to generate sustainable benefits
