The project will strengthen communication and public awareness capacity on biosafety in Latin America in general and in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica and Peru in specific. The objective will be achieved through piloting communication and public awareness strategies and sharing the results widely across the region. These activities will culminate in a regional conference to take stock of biosafety management systems in the region.
