Through this thematic area the Consortium seeks to increase capacity for governance and decision-making on genetic biocontrol technology in Africa and promote effective multinational engagement by providing a regular avenue for in-depth discussion and debate of the challenges, needs and requirements for testing and implementation of genetic biocontrol technologies by interdisciplinary experts from countries most likely to experience both the risks and the benefits. The main issues for consideration will be decided and reviewed by the steering Committee from time to time.
Through this thematic area the Consortium seeks to increase in-country research and operational expertise on the application of genetic technologies to control of zoonotic and animal diseases and protect biodiversity and conservation issues across Africa by promoting a consistent one-health approach to research and development at the interface of health and the environment.
Through this thematic area, the Consortium seeks to strengthen in-country capacity for informed decision-making on the safety of genetic biocontrol technologies for human and animal health and the environment, by providing opportunities for international training, information sharing and discussion on genetic technologies as related to risk assessment and regulatory practices.
Through this thematic area, the Consortium seeks to support broader understanding of the genetic biocontrol technologies and increasing transparency about gene drive technologies by providing technical training and opportunities to disseminate information and address misinformation to the general public.
