Guidance towards implementations of national biosafety frameworks: lessons learned from the UNEP demonstration projects

The UNEP-GEF Biosafety Unit recently started an analysis of lessons learned from the 8 UNEP-managed demonstration projects for the implementation of National Biosafety Frameworks. These projects were approved by GEF Council in November 2001, for Bulgaria, Cameroon, China, Cuba, Kenya, Namibia, Poland, and Uganda. The 3-year projects started in September 2002 and were completed in the period 2005-2007.
