Follow up Mechanism

• mobilization of financial resources
• providing support in project design, development
  and submission to relevant funding agencies
• enhancing the understanding of animal genetic
  resources roles and values and their contribution

Follow up Mechanism

• Immediate outputs
• A funding strategy for implementation of
  Strategic Priorities for Action for animal
  genetic resources.
• A portfolio of projects to address immediate
  priority needs identified in Country Reports and
  in the draft Report on Strategic Priorities for
  Action.
• A website with information on potential donors,
  their requirements and procedures, ongoing
  projects and projects in the pipeline, and sample
  project proposals.
• Global and regional communication strategies on
  animal genetic resources.
• Communications products (videos, leaflets,
  posters, and CDs) describing the roles, functions
  and values of animal genetic resources.
