Description: Das Projekt "Support for CIFOR- ICRAF Biodiversity Unit" wird/wurde gefördert durch: DEZA, Direktion für Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: DEZA, Direktion für Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit.CIFOR, as a CGIAR (Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research) center, has had a long-standing partnership with SDC's Natural Resources and Environment division (SDC/NRE) in biodiversity and forestry related-issues and also regularly collaborates with other Swiss institutions (BUWAL, ETHZ, WSL, Intercooperation, etc.). SDC/NRE supports have been meant, amongst other things, to strengthen the link between forestry research and poverty alleviation and to facilitate synergies between practitioners, especially from Swiss-funded programmes, and researchers. A few years ago, an external analysis was commissioned by CIFOR and ICRAF and proposed to approach biodiversity issues at a large scale, i.e. the landscape or 'working landscape', and to integrate these issues in forestry and agroforestry activities at this people-related level. The launch of a common Biodiversity Unit was proposed to both CGIAR centers to join their efforts for linking biodiversity conservation issues with socio-economic development considerations. The research center of Bogor, Indonesia, is seen as the best location for the Biodiversity Unit as CIFOR headquarters and the regional office of ICRAF are based there. Both institutions will easily be able to develop common research and to gather the adequate findings. The commonly proposed means of launching as well as supporting the working of the Biodiversity Unit is through the involvement of a Swiss scientist in the Unit. From the Swiss side, Intercooperation (IC) will administer the project, as the foundation provides a link between CIFOR, SDC/NRE and the applied projects. IC has a long-term backstopping mandate with SDC/NRE in the corresponding topics and its Deputy Director is a member of the Board of Trustees of CIFOR. The support for the launch of a joint CIFOR-ICRAF Biodiversity Unit covers a phase of three years, from January ist, 2006 to December 31st, 2008. The total budget is CHF 708'000.-
