Technical assistance from the PIM-supported Program for Biosafety Systems facilitated the development of scientifically sound genome editing oversight guidelines for improved applications in the agricultural sector in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi and Nigeria

The PIM-supported Program for Biosafety Systems (PBS) assisted four African countries in developing oversight guidelines for genome editing that accurately reflect the science and evolving regulatory trends for this game-changing, Nobel-prize winning technology. This outcome capitalizes on PBS’s nearly two decades of technical assistance aimed at enhancing the skills of decision makers in agricultural biotechnology regulations.
