Biosafety and Biosecurity Capacity Building at the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention

Project activities include: support for regional workshops and meetings to promote the establishment of a surveillance system for high consequence pathogens; the development of guidelines and training materials for surveillance of high consequence pathogens; and the development and implementation of Africa’s CDC’s five-year Strategic Plan for Biosafety and Biosecurity. This project supports the GP’s Signature Initiative to Mitigate Biological Threats in Africa.
