Technical summary report
2020Also available in:
No results found.In order to have information on biosafety and Bhutan’s obligation as a signatory to the Cartagena Protocol for Biosafety available to users and traders, the Bhutan biosafety clearing house (BBCH) was developed, but needed revamping to ensure functionality. With technical and financial support of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the tool was developed aligning to various global tools including FAO GM Foods Platform. After the development of the national tool, a training workshop entitled “Bhutan Biosafety Clearing House and other biosafety repository tools including FAO GM Foods Platform” was organized by FAO and BAFRA in Paro from 3-5 March 2020. The training was attended by forty-five (45) officials from BAFRA head office and field offices, Biosafety Technical Working Group members and participants from relevant stakeholders like Ministry of Health (MoH), Department of Forests and Park Services (DoFPS), National Environment Commission (NEC), Food Corporation of Bhutan (FCB), Karma Feed and National Seed Centre (NSC). The training focused on familiarizing the participants with the revamped BBCH and other biosafety information repositories. Both face-to-face and interactive online modules were used for the training and after group exercises and facilitated discussions, feedback from the workshop participants on improvement of the utility and feel of the revamped tool was provided to the training organizers.
