About this project

Description

The proposed project seeks to strengthen the national and provincial ABS framework in accordance with the Nagoya Protocol, build the capacities needed for its implementation, and test ABS objectives by facilitating access to the genetic resources of guanacos under the principles of FPIC, MAT, benefit-sharing and biodiversity conservation. The proposed strategy will facilitate the ratification of the Nagoya Protocol and its alignment with federal and provincial ABS regulations. Chubut province will develop ABS laws or policies that reflect the minimum standards set by Federal Resolution 226/2010 in order to facilitate access to the genetic resources of guanacos and benefit-sharing arrangements.

Objectives

To contribute to the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol by strengthening the national access and benefit-sharing (ABS) framework and facilitating access to genetic resources of guanacos for the development of an anti-diarrheal treatment.
