Access and benefit-sharing policies for climate-resilient seed systems. por Halewood, Michael, Otieno, G., Nkhoma, C., Kasasa, P., Mulumba, John W., Gapusi, J., Jonge, B. de

“…This study provides an overview of climate related changes in past, present and future and the challenges to access to and exchange of genetic resources for climate change adaptation through different access and benefit sharing regimes in 4 countries – Zambia, Zimbabwe, Rwanda and Uganda. Findings from the studies indicate that most African countries face challenges in accessing required PGR for climate change adaptation because they do not have online accession-level documentation; they have not fully implemented international commitments related to ABS and national and regional seed laws hamper the flow of seeds and genetic resources. …”
