15 Mar 2024 Promoting the safe application of biotechnology through Multi country Cooperation in the implementation of National Biosafety Frameworks in Asia

The objective of the multi-country project is to strengthen institutional, human and regulatory capacities and promote cooperative measures in the implementation of National Biosafety Frameworks for the safe transfer, handling and use of Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) in Asia. It has four components: (i) Multi-country collaboration and cooperation on Biosafety issues (ii) Facilitating the establishment, further development and effective implementation of biosafety systems at the national level (iii) Systems for information sharing, knowledge management, education and public awareness developed, and (iv) Project Monitoring and Evaluation.
