Strengthening the Implementation of National Biosafety Frameworks in Southern Africa (SINBF)

The project seeks to strengthen institutional, infrastructural, human & regulatory biosafety capacities of the Governments of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Madagascar and Namibia in the implementation of NBFs in support of the CPB and (its) Nagoya-Kuala Lumpur Supplementary Protocol on Liability & Redress.

The project will achieve this by (i) building on existing national biosafety baselines to strengthen regulatory, institutional, infrastructural and human capacities of the participating countries in the implementation of National Biosafety Frameworks (NBFs); (ii) Promoting cooperative measures in the implementation of NBFs across the three countries (iii) Stimulating regional dialogues on biosafety and effective cooperation on technical tools and relevant support for the safe use and transboundary movement of Living Modified Organisms (LMOs).
