Access to genetic resources and traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources

Pursuant to the Nagoya Protocol, ANR must obtain documentary evidence of Due Diligence Declarations (DDDs) for all research projects that it funds. Projects funded will be asked to make a declaration on potential utilisation of genetic resources during their projects.

DDDs for research work can be submitted online using the special application on the MESRI website. Credentials to access the application can be obtained from the director of the host institution.
