Production and Broadcastingof Radio Program for ABS-GEF Project

BACKGROUND

The Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization (ABS) was adopted at the tenth meeting of the Conference to the Parties on 29 October 2010, in Nagoya, Japan. Its objective is the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources, thereby contributing to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and implementing the three objectives of the CBD. The Nagoya Protocol also covers traditional knowledge (TK) associated with genetic resources that are covered by the CBD and the benefits arising from its utilization. Nepali Parliament accede the Nagoya Protocol Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization (ABS) on 4th September 2017.  

Strengthening capacities for implementation of the Nagoya Protocol in Nepal also called ABS-GEF project is being executed by Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation with technical support from IUCN Nepal. The objective of the project is to build capacity of key stakeholders at national, subnational and local levels to implement ABS in Nepal. The project has three broad components and therefore it must bring synergy while implementing activities; Component 1: Policy, Rules and Regulations; Component 2: Capacity needs and training; and Component 3: Educations, public awareness and communications.  

To create awareness on ABS concept among the stakeholders at the different level, we have planned to develop and broadcast Radio programs in Nepali at project districts.
