Its mission is to serve as a unique repository of plant genetic resources suited to marginal environments. Since then, ICBA has collected and preserved germplasm of plant species with proven or potential salinity, heat and drought tolerance from around the world. Today the genebank is home to one of the world’s largest collections of germplasm of heat- and salt-tolerant plant species. It stores over 14,000 accessions of around 240 plant species from more than 150 countries and territories of the world. There are also around 250 seed samples of 70 wild plant species from the United Arab Emirates, the center’s host country. Under its program on plant genetic resources, ICBA provides seed samples to different institutions around the world for research, breeding and introduction. Since 2000 ICBA has distributed 8,572 seed samples to partner organizations in 57 countries. ICBA established a unique genebank in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, in 2000. 6 Afghanistan Iran Palestine Algeria Iraq Peru Australia Ivory Coast Qatar Azerbaijan Japan Republic of Congo Bangladesh Jordan Saudi Arabia Cameroon Kazakhstan Senegal Canada Kuwait Somalia Chad Lebanon South Korea China Liberia South Sudan Colombia Madagascar Spain Congo Mauritania Syria Denmark Mauritius Tajikistan Djibouti Mexico Togo Egypt Morocco Tunisia Ethiopia Mozambique Turkmenistan Gambia Niger UAE Germany Nigeria USA Guinea-Bissau Oman Uzbekistan India Pakistan Yemen ICBA at 20: Stories of Success 7 Dr. Kent Nnadozie, Secretary of the International Treaty, says: “With this agreement, ICBA’s valuable germplasm collection will be more accessible to a broader range of users and ultimately farmers, while affording ICBA new partnerships and involvement in the global governance framework provided by the International Under the Article 15 agreement with FAO, the germplasm collection stored in ICBA’s genebank became officially part of the Multilateral System of Access and Benefit-sharing.

Willard S. de Haas DATA FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY EXTERNAL USE OF DATA IS ONLY PERMITTED WITH CONSENT OF THE PROJECT SUPERVISORS Preface During my bachelors in Engineering, I focused on reducing the impact of companies on the environment. However, I had the feeling I was playing the sustainability game on the wrong side, making things less bad instead of good. Therefore I wanted to study Environmental Sciences for my masters and focus on showing the value of nature. I quickly found my match in the third and fourth month studying in expressing the real value of nature through the concept of ecosystem services. Instead of only a feeling base, tree-hugging mind set, I could express the value in monetary terms, speaking the same language as large companies, governments and inhabitants. For my master thesis I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself to tackle a problem as individually as possible in a country as far away as possible.

Cette étude livre à cet effet une cartographie communale du développement et de ses sources assimilées à l’éducation, la santé, le niveau de vie, l’activité économique, l’habitat et les services sociaux, à partir de la base de données «Indicateurs du RGPH 2014» (HCP, 2017). Cette cartographie du développement et de ses dimensions montre clairement que : - La pauvreté matérielle voire monétaire est certes associée au développement humain, mais elle ne permet pas, à elle seule, d’identifier les communes sous l’emprise d’autres facettes de pauvreté.

It is ordinary to find this tree in Morocco where it has been present for centuries, but they are troubled with several problems related with its environmental, social and economic sustainability, as water scarcity, soil degradation or loss of rural working days. Olives groves are now the subject of a development plan to not only keep the Kingdom at its current level (2nd world producer for canned olive and 6th for oil olive oil) but to conquer new markets on a global level and thus interest from the craze that this oil known for its benefits. The “Green Morocco” national plan allows, thanks to substantial subsidies, to renew the existing orchards with the traditional “picholine variety” from Morocco and planting of new varieties in super-intensive in order to intensify as much as possible new orchards.
