Common use of Harmonisation Clause in Contracts

Harmonisation. In 2009 the CGIAR genebank managers requested only one set of genebank PIs be used and recommend the Trust set be used as they had all actively been involved in their development and testing. As a result, the two streams were completely harmonized in January 2010 and the Trust set was adopted (▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=140&Itemid=241&lang=english). It should be noted that these genebank performance indicators are also being used by a non-CGIAR genebank that is also a recipient of a long-term grant from the Trust with success. Obviously, goals change and PIs need to be reviewed on a periodic basis. The Trust recognizes the need to balance further evolution in performance indicator development against the value of continued reporting over time against a stable set of indicators. Currently, the Trust plans only to focus on the resolution of issues surrounding the more intangible performance indicators (such as collaboration and leadership in crop conservation and improving the coverage of the genepool ex situ) with the view to improving these indicators. This is planned to be undertaken with the genebanks in 2011. Annual technical and financial reports cover the calendar year of grant allocation up to 31 December and shall be submitted to the Trust Secretariat by 31 May of the following year. Reports should be written in a clear, simple style and in English. Reports shall be submitted in three copies, plus a readable word processing file (preferably MS Word file or if unavailable a PDF file). Reports shall contain the following information: Reports shall include a four year rolling multi-year budget, developed within the first year of the grant that reflects the grant commitments in Articles 2 and 3.
