The sub-Saharan Office for
IPGRI does, and will continue to, support and promote computer-based (and
other) germplasm documentation and management systems. In addition, the
sub-Saharan Office will facilitate the flow of information, if and when
this is necessary, appropriate and applicable, through such media and
mechanisms as is possible and affordable. The overall strategic objective
here is to ensure that decision-making on plant genetic resources conservation and
use in sub-Saharan Africa is well informed, and that data and information
on PGR are well managed and widely disseminated.
With its public awareness activities, IPGRI in sub-Saharan Africa
strives to raise the level of awareness on the importance of plant genetic
resources and related issues in the region to ensure continued commitment
by countries to support plant genetic resources conservation and use.
Broadly, emphasis on data and information management is on
data
handling and analysis and
visualization.
IPGRI support
IPGRI supports national programmes and regional networks
by providing demand-driven training and capacity-building, by sourcing for
support donors, and by encouraging sharing of collaborative advantages between
national programmes.
