PBS Partner Country and Regional Initiatives |
| |
The Program for Biosafety Systems tailors its activities to the needs of its partner countries. We design our goals, gather our expertise and implement our program in close collaboration with regional coordinators and partners in Asia and Africa. This collaborative work is essential to ensure that PBS policy, economic, environmental, legal, trade and capacity building- related activities all fully and accurately support the development of national and regional biosafety regulatory systems. |

EAST AFRICA: RABESA publications |
The Regional Approach to Biotechnology and Biosafety Policy in Eastern and Southern Africa (the RABESA initiative) is a two-year project running from June 2004 to May 2006. RABESA’s objective is to generate and analyze technical information needed to inform the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA) on regional biotechnology and biosafety policy choices. A follow up phase for RABESA is currently being implemented. See project reports at: http://www.acts.or.ke/prog/agriculture/afs_rabesa.html |

The Program for Biosafety Systems (PBS) is an IFPRI-managed program that supports our partner countries in Africa and Asia in the responsible development and safe use of agricultural biotechnology. PBS effectively addresses biosafety through an integrated program of research, capacity development, and outreach. PBS is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
