Why was the CGKB developed?• Scattered protocols, manuals,
guidelines, publications, etc.; • Not readily accessible (unpublished
manuals)• Past publications: generic documents
and not crop specific; e.g. FAO/IPGRI Genebank standard, Bioversity Handbooks for genebank
• Harmonization of practicesamong genebanks

Goal of CGKB
To facilitate easy access to the knowledge and best practices for genebank
management of selected crops for more efficient and effective conservation.
http://cropgenebank.sgrp.cgiar.org/
Objectives• Provide a user-friendly online access to procedures,
standards and practices for managing clonally propagated and seed crops held in genebanks.
• Compile and adapt best practices in a learning platform.
• Provide links to other related information and training resources.
• Develop a mechanism to update and develop new best practices for the management of new crops in genebanks.
• Build capacity of genebank curators and technicians.

Compilation of the content• Choice of nine species - held “in common” • Common template for compiling and
preparing for best practices• Compilation of best practices - led by
