I am pleased to inform you that a capacity building workshop on access and benefit-sharing will be held on 29-30 October 2011, in Montreal, Canada, back to back with the seventh meeting of the Ad Hoc Open-ended Working Group on Article 8 (j) and Related Provisions (Working Group). The workshop is organized by the Secretariat of the CBD, in collaboration with the Secretariat of the International Treaty, and follows a first joint workshop that was held in June this year.
This kit has been designed to answer the call from National Focal Points (NFPs) and other involved with the Treaty at national level, including responsible of gene banks, NGOs and ministries. It is intended to support in improving their ability to raise public and media awareness and understanding of the Treaty and its activities.
Significant correspondence concerning the implementation of the International Treaty is being addressed to Contracting Parties on a regular basis. In order to facilitate the rapid distribution of such correspondence to the relevant officials, Contracting Parties are invited to nominate a National Focal Point, to whom correspondence should be addressed, or to update the contact details of those already nominated if these have changed.
