In the framework of its 'public awareness' component, CEBioS desires to strengthen the activities of CHM National Focal Points in their contribution to the implementation of the CBD.

In 2015, 6 to 8 projects will be financed through the call. This number will depend of the type, size and quality of proposed projects.
