Cassava. The cassava collection at CIAT comprises some 6,500 accessions, mainly of the cultivated species Manihot esculenta but with approximately 900 accessions of about 30 species of wild relatives. The number of wild relatives is not expected to increase significantly as long as they remain excluded from the Multilateral System of Access and Benefit Sharing under the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. There is no major overall cost differential between conserving wild and cultivated accessions and all are maintained in vitro. A core collection of about 10% of the total collection is cryopreserved. Work is underway to produce a robust protocol for seed production and conservation. CIAT also maintains a “bonsai” collection (small plants maintained in pots in the greenhouse) of approximately 2,000 accessions as a source of tissue for DNA sampling, etc. There is no field collection of cassava at CIAT due to pest and disease problems. Only one third of the collection is safety duplicated in another location. It remains to be decided how to improve the security of the collection and which accessions should be conserved in what form. The costs of cryobanking further accessions are included as a one-off cost in Section 4.

Cassava. The cassava collection comprises approximately 2,800 accessions, the large majority of which are of African origin. There is essentially no overlap with the CIAT collection. The collection is maintained both in the field and in vitro, with approximately one-third of the collection being sent annually as in vitro samples to Cotonou for safety duplication. The production of botanical seed is being investigated as a conservation option. A cryotank is being purchased for the conservation of cryopreserved accessions and a protocol is being refined. Cryobanking is likely to start within the next few years.

Cassava. Review existing/ new draft policies and strategies and make analysis on the cause and effect of those documents with the actions raised in the cassava policy with due attention to minimizing social and environmental risks and to maximizing benefits. • Highlight issues and propose solutions which should be addressed by the cassava policy. Roles of each stakeholder should be defined to address cassava issues and aligned with the existing/future policies to ensure its perfect harmonization which actions in those policies can provide side effects to the cassava sector. • Provide backup, evidence and reference on analysis, recommended approaches and other areas as needed • Update the draft cassava policy by making it in the government format with the respect on writing style, governance structure (government wide approaches), and Public Private Producer Partnership Models • Present the update draft policy and consult with the government’s think tank or committees to ensure that the final draft is ready for the endorsement and approval, i.e. SNEC, ECOSOC, Committee on Economic and Financial Policy etc. • Develop and lead stakeholders’ consultations to finalize Project Document to mobilize IFAD’s loan and other traditional and non-traditional ODA donors and private sector.
