  2. Providing support for strengthening of the national legal systems addressing biosafety and biosecurity and reinforcing biological nonproliferation principles, practices and instruments;
  3. Building an inventory/catalogue of available resources in participating countries to assess the existing means to better assess training needs, to provide training and to map facilities in view of optimizing collaboration during the project and improve quality management as well as sustainability after its conclusion; and
  4. Developing and implementing a regional self-sustainable training system for biosafety and biosecurity and improving curricula and methodologies of teaching, performing “Training of trainers” activities using activity base learning and introducing e-learning tools.
