GCDT - BOLD The BOLD-CWR Project will strengthen the capacity of national genebanks to manage and use crop diversity. It will capitalize on the success of the NORAD-funded CWR Project by enlarging its pre-breeding evaluation partnerships to include national genebanks, and by supporting the participation of genebanks in seed systems interventions. This will enhance farmers' access to crop diversity, and thus contribute to the resilience of food systems in partner countries. In
addition, BOLD will increase awareness and use of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, facilitating new deposits from genebanks in DAC/ODA countries.
