Donors
Bioversity relies on the support of it donors to carry out its work. On behalf of our partners, Bioversity would like to take this opportunity to thank our donors for their generous contributions.
Our donors provide more than finances. They have a wealth of expertise about genetic resources and development. Their input has been instrumental in shaping Bioversity's broad programme of work. Bioversity works closely with its donors and partners to identify priorities for action and develop and implement projects.
Unrestricted contributions from a core group of countries and the World Bank give Bioversity the opportunity to use the funds as it sees fit. This can include exploring new research initiatives with new partners. These donors, as well as other countries, UN agencies, international development organizations, universities and private companies also provide targeted funding for specific projects.
For up-to-date information about who has been financing what, consult Bioversity's Medium Term Plan 2007-2009 and Financing Plan 2007.
