ACTIONS AT NATIONAL LEVEL
Proposal on criteria
to choose ERFP activities/projects
on national (sub-regional) level
Elżbieta Martyniuk
on behalf of the ERFP Steering Committee
THE OBJECTIVES
OF THE ERFP CALL FOR ACTION
To identify and support projects which:
• will initiate collaborative activities in the field
of AnGR between European countries
• will reinforce ongoing collaboration and
exchanges between NCs in Europe
TWO MAIN AREAS FOR ACTION:
• Breed development and conservation
programmes
• Monitoring of animal genetic resources
BREED DEVELOPMENT AND
CONSERVATION
a. In-situ
– The call could support the creation of one or more groups of
countries maintaining breeds that are similar. These countries
may need financial support to coordinate their actions or to
exchange their experience
– Project aimed to develop proposals for joint action involving
several countries sharing the same/having similar breeds of
livestock
(the Central and Eastern European countries, or/and the South
Eastern European countries)
BREED DEVELOPMENT AND
CONSERVATION
a. In-situ
Expected outputs:
Development of proposals for collaboration, which will
ensure long-term, economically viable and sustainable
conservation of AnGR through joined efforts of several
countries
BREED DEVELOPMENT AND
CONSERVATION
b. Ex-situ
The call could support the creation a group of countries
interested in developing ex-situ conservation
programmes
The project may analyse technical, legal and practical
aspects of maintaining cryo-conservation banks
BREED DEVELOPMENT AND
CONSERVATION
b. Ex-situ
Expected outputs:
Guidelines for setting cryo-conservation banks for
AnGR
(procedures for collection of genetic material, number of
samples depending on species/ type of genetic material;
access, use and replenishment protocols, ownership and
organizational structure etc.)
MONITORING OF ANIMAL
GENETIC RESOURCES
This area will receive
an important support from EFABIS programme
which should provide an effective tool
for establishment of databas
and creating links between databases.
Additional issues :
MONITORING OF ANIMAL
GENETIC RESOURCES
a. Monitoring of AnGR – needs and approaches
The call could support the creation a group of countries
interested in discussing and advancing their monitoring
programmes
Expected outputs:
Study on ongoing AnGR monitoring programmes with
recommendations identifying best monitoring practices,
dimension/organization of monitoring, to provide quality
input for national databases
MONITORING OF ANIMAL
GENETIC RESOURCES
a. Monitoring of AnGR – needs and approaches
The call could support the creation a group of countries
interested in discussing and advancing their monitoring
programmes
Expected outputs:
Study on ongoing AnGR monitoring programmes with
recommendations identifying best monitoring practices,
dimension/organization of monitoring, in order to
provide quality input for national databases
MONITORING OF ANIMAL
GENETIC RESOURCES
b. Overview of available data and information on
AnGR diversity in Europe
The call could support creation a group of countries
willing to participate and contribute to Europe-wise
analysis of data on AnGR diversity at regional level.
Expected outputs:
Study on dimension and content of available European
databases concerning various aspects of AnGR and
analysis of possible use of these data in evaluating animal
genetic diversity at European level.
MONITORING OF ANIMAL
GENETIC RESOURCES
c. Projects to enable direct assistance to
country/group of countries in developing monitoring
programmes and establishing national databases.
Assistance of a consultant appointed by RFP to support
action at country level
Expected outputs:
Development of programme/ databases
TIMING
By end of September
European Regional Focal Point will launch A Call
for Action
By end of October
Submission of project proposals

• Conformity with objectives of the Call
• Conformity with the tasks of the Working Group
• The technical quality and feasibility of the proposed work
• The quality of the proposed organisation and management
• The potential value and impact of the expected outputs
SELECTION CRITERIA
