Project

Innovative Approaches for Sustainable Biosecurity and Biosafety Capacity in Africa

In support of the Signature Initiative to Mitigate Biological Threats in Africa, this project will strengthen biosafety and biosecurity in Africa through a series of four complementary activities that aim to build and sustain a diverse, inclusive, competent and multi- sectoral cadre of experts in Africa. These activities include:

  1. Strengthening diversity, equity and inclusion in biosafety and biosecurity across Africa;
  2. Cultivating the biosafety and biosecurity profession in Africa;
  3. Developing a risk assessment and risk-based decision-making tool; and
  4. Strengthening multi-sectoral collaboration in and for Africa.

IFBA will develop and disseminate diversity and inclusion progress indicators that will extend beyond simple representation quotas, and will establish a common understanding of gender and diversity.
