This document discusses the Country Domestic Animal Genetic Resource Information system (C-DAGRIS) project. The project aims to develop country-based genetic resource information systems to characterize indigenous livestock breeds. It also aims to build human and technical capacity to effectively utilize this information. Key activities include identifying national hosting institutions, training on managing breed-level data, and establishing communication networks between countries involved in the project. The document provides an overview of the C-DAGRIS system architecture and features.

Objectives
• To develop country-based Domestic Animal Genetic Resources Information System (DAGRIS) as unique sources of breed level
characterization information and more that serves as a tool for researchers, trainers, students, development workers, policy makers
etc;
• To build necessary human and infrastructure capacity to ensure the effective use of the information towards sustainable utilization of
indigenous FAnGR;
• To support national focal institutes and professionals to populate and manage the country DAGRIS database; and
• To establish a network for communication and information exchange between focal institutes of the GEF-Asia project countries to
facilitate sharing of experiences and partnerships;
