This call is a continuation of the previous one (issued on October 29, 2016) and aims to support projects that contribute to the strengthening of the capacities of research teams while participating in the development of economic, political and social innovation.

ii) be supported by a structure from one of the southern countries covered by the program (22 countries in Africa, Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia)

iii) fall within the areas of concentration of the program around plant biodiversity:

• sustainable management of forest plant biodiversity
