2 Introduction to Biosafety in Kenya Kenya signed the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety in 2000 and ratified it in National Biotechnology Development Policy Published in Biosafety Bill signed into law on 12th February 2009 giving rise to Biosafety Act No. 2 of 2009.

3 Process towards Kenya s Biosafety Regulatory Framework

4 Biosafety Act, 2009 Sets up the National Biosafety Authority as the National focal point of all Biosafety matters in Kenya Makes provision for the establishment of a legal framework for the safe handling, use and transfer of genetically modified organisms NBA to exercise general supervision and control over dealings in GMO with a view to ensuring safety to human and animal health and protection of the environment 9/21/2016 4

5 Objects of the Act To facilitate responsible research into and minimize the risks that may be posed by GMOs To ensure an adequate level of protection for safe transfer, handling and use of GMOs that may have an adverse effect on the health of the people and the environment To establish a transparent, science-based and predictable process for reviewing and making decisions on transfer, handling and use of GMOs 9/21/2016 5

6 Mandate of National Biosafety Authority Consider and determine applications for approval for the safe transfer, handling and use of GMOs Co-ordinate research and monitor activities on all GMO work as per the Act Strengthen national technical capacities and capabilities for biosafety Develop regulations to operationalize the Biosafety Act 9/21/2016 6

7 Mandate of National Biosafety Authority Establish and maintain a Biosafety Clearing House (BCH) mechanism web based information sharing of national database that is linked to the international BCH; Promote public awareness on biosafety and biotechnology; Enforce the provisions of the Biosafety Act; Provide advisory services on matters of biosafety 9/21/2016 7

8 Governance The NBA is managed by a Board of Management comprising of: A Chairperson who must be an eminent scientist appointed by the Minister for the time being responsible for Science and Technology CEOs (or their Appointed Alternates) from six (6) Government agencies whose mandates relates to biosafety issues Six (6) other persons appointed by the Minister, 3 of whom shall be experts in biological, environmental and social sciences, the others as follows; One shall represent the interests of consumers, One shall represent the interests of farmers One shall represent the interests of the biotechnology industry.

36 Official Launch of ANBAA March 9, 2016

37 Countries involved Burkina Faso Cameroon Ethiopia Ghana Kenya Malawi Mali Mozambique Namibia Nigeria Senegal Swaziland South Africa Sudan Tanzania Togo Uganda Zambia Zimbabwe

38 Hurdles in sharing data and information between countries to be reduced by promoting Regional and Bilateral Agreements between countries. A critical mass of NBA s with the political will to move forward in adopting plant biotechnology. Development of Regional AU Policies and harmonized regulatory system a possibility. ANBAA Training, exchange programmes and Conferences to be initiated. Strengthening partnerships between AANBA and countries with an extensive history of working with the technology. The FAO initiative involving Argentina, Ethiopia, and Kenya as an initiative is a good example.
