Description Within the framework of the CGIAR, ICARDA has the
world mandate for the improvement of barley, lentil and faba
bean. It also has a regional mandate for the improvement of
wheat (bread and durum), Kabuli chickpea and pasture and
forage crops in the dry areas. The development of improved
germplasm and elite genotypes for use by national, regional
and international breeding programs is the major objective
of the ICARDA crop improvement program. ICARDA holds
‘in trust’ rich and valuable collections of genetic resources
of cereals, food legumes, forages and range species in its
genebanks that are located in Lebanon, Morocco and Syria.
Based on CGIAR Intellectual Assets Principles, the breeding
germplasm (including germplasm under development)
developed by ICARDA and all the genetic resources held in
trust are considered international public goods (IPGs) to be
made available upon request to national and international
researchers, individuals from the private sector, graduate
students, farmers, and others around the world for use
in breeding, research and education purposes. They are
made available by means of the Standard Material Transfer
Agreement (SMTA). Facilitated seed and germplasm
exchange and movement are vital for crop improvement and
conservation, as well as for use as genetic resources.
