Technical capacities were strengthened to establish and manage functional biosafety systems for the safe use of modern agricultural biotechnology. Other technical support included national biosafety training workshops, biosafety short courses at African institutions and partner institutions outside Africa, notably at Michigan State University in the USA, biosafety internships, technical consultation support, and biosafety information resources.

Key Results
Technical capacities were strengthened to establish and manage functional biosafety systems for the safe use of modern agricultural biotechnology. Capacities of researchers and regulators were strengthened in areas such as assessing risks associated with emerging technologies (e.g. Gene Drive and Gene Editing)
