GEF resources will be used to assist Mauritius to meet the objective of the Cartagena Protocol (to contribute to ensuring an adequate level of protection in the field of the safe transfer, handling and use of living modified organisms resulting from modern biotechnology that may have adverse effects on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, taking also into account risks to human health, and specifically focusing on transboundary movements) and therefore will be directed to support the implementation of the NBF in Mauritius.
