PROTA in the global and African setting

On the first day, PROTA’s work was put in the global perspective of the CBD (Convention on Biological Diversity), GSPC (Global Strategy for Plant Conservation) and the MDGs (Millennium Development Goals).

Information management and utilization are major challenges facing agricultural research today. The EU/ACP Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA), also co-organizer of the event, explained its role and its close linkage with PROTA.
