| Selected ERFP Projects 2002 |
|---|
The first "Call for Action" was launched in mid November 2002 following a delay given by the Annual Workshop, with a very tight deadline for submissions on the 25th of November. 9 submissions were received and 2 projects were funded, one
- "Development of guidelines for cryopreservation of AnGR in Europe" and the other
- "Study on optimising the implementation of databases on AnGR in Europe".
Both projects received 20,000 Euros each. In addition, the SC Selection Panel approved the funding of national consultancy visits to the value of 3 000 Euros to advise the NC for Albania in the establishment and training of a National Network for AnGR. | | | | Selected ERFP Projects 2003 |

The 2003 Call for Action included the same themes.
However, the annual workshop was agreed that priority should be given to projects under themes that weren't supported in the 2002 Call for Action.
It was proposed that the ERFP might support multinational breed conservation projects and consultancy visits. It was agreed that if populations were declining rapidly that the ERFP should consider funding multinational projects.
The Selection Panel (ERFP SC + Technical Adviser + FAO Senior AnGR Officer) received a total of 7 projects of which the following two have been approved for immediate funding subject to the conditions given:
- European Cryoconservation of Heritage Sheep Breeds - Scoping Study. Total cost: 20 000 Euros.
- Veterinary provisions for the maintenance of genetic resources in case of infectious diseases. Total cost: 7 500 Euros.
In addition the Selection Panel strongly recommended that the 2 projects should be combined into one to save administrative costs and encourage co-ordination across Central and Eastern Europe. Both projects involve the in situ conservation of similar native sheep breeds.
- Development of common approach and proposals aiming at the In-situ conservation of the similar local sheep breeds in the Balkan's regions. Total cost: 20 000 Euros.
