Areas of cooperation 2. GLIS and CBD CHM & ABS-CH Continued collaboration between the Secretariats of the IT and the CBD to support synergies in the development and implementation of the Global Information System and the ABS Clearing House, in particular to facilitate the exchange of information, experiences and relevant developments. 3. TK/Sust Use and Farmers’ Rights & Sust Use The Secretariat of the Convention, raising funds, develops training materials and facilitates training opportunities for representatives/trainers of indigenous peoples and local communities on matters under the Convention with a focus on customary sustainable use and community-based monitoring and information systems as a contribution to the CBD indicators process. The Secretariats of the IT and the CBD will continue to look for opportunities to collaborate on these activities on issues of mutual relevance. 1. Harmonious MLS/NP Implementation Joint capacity building, technical support, research & communication In supporting the harmonious implementation of the Nagoya Protocol and the International Treaty, the Secretariats collaborate at various levels. Both Secretariats are working with partners, including Bioversity International and the ABS Capacity Development Initiative, to organize workshops on mutually supportive implementation of the two instruments and to undertake a pilot project on mutually supportive implementation with Benin and Madagascar. 4. Crop wild relatives and Protected Areas The two Secretariats will work, together with partners, to emphasize the need for Parties to provide better coverage of CWR under protected area systems, and other area based conservation measures, based on existing decisions of the CBD and ITPGRFA and using available guidance on protected areas and CWR. A notification to this effect will be prepared. Follow-up work will include opportunities for capacity building on this topic, including through the CBD Programme of Work on Protected Areas. This will include further capacity building support, as opportunities arise, regarding sustainable use of CWR and plant pre-breeding activities. 5. Joint Resource Mobilization for joint project proposals The two Secretariats have agreed to explore the development of joint projects proposals as well as the need for joint resource mobilization in this context.
