• W1584220492 abstract "This report summarises the results of a review of the policy, regulatory mechanisms andadministration of biosafety in Kenya, Malawi and South Africa and under the ASARECA regionalinitiative. The report focuses on the current situation and provides insights as to the form thatdevelopments in the area of regulation of biotechnology are likely to take.The first section is an introduction, which provides the definition and scope of biotechnology asused in this report. It provides a brief status of agricultural research; the areas of research and theactors involved in biotechnology in the study countries. With the exception of South Africa,experimentation in transgenic crops is still under development. Most of the current agriculturalbiotechnology R&D activities focus on improving crop productivity. The actors are mainly NationalAgriculture Research Institutes, International Agricultural Research Centres and universities.Private sector involvement is in the form of multinational companies.The second section discusses the frameworks for the regulation of biotechnology. These includeinternational obligations, regional attempts, as well as national efforts in regulating biotechnology inthe study countries. Regulation at the national level has been in the form of national policies,national strategies and through legislation. In Kenya and in most countries under the ASARECAinitiative, acts of parliament are yet to be enacted. The proposed bill and regulations in Kenya andthe proposed regional regulatory structure under ASARECA are discussed with the aim ofproviding an insight as to the trend regulation in these jurisdictions is likely to take.The third section is a discussion on institutional arrangements in the field of agriculturalbiotechnology. Who are the institutional actors? What are the synergies? What is the institutionalcapacity in terms of human resources and physical infrastructure? This section also explores thecommercialisation and innovation attempts in the study countries. It examines public perceptionand acceptance of modern biotechnology and ends with a brief mention on intellectual propertyprotection in the study countries. South Africa has a developed institutional structure withimpressive facilities and adequate human resource capacity. Critical mass in modern biotechnologyin the other study countries is yet to be attained. Facilities for experimentation in GM technologyare likewise lacking in Kenya, Malawi and other ASARECA countries.The fourth section summarises the review and presents the way forward. South Africa is bestplaced to handle applications for testing transgenics such as the rosette-resistant groundnutdeveloped by ICRISAT. A representative from the Malawi biosafety committee should be involvedin the testing of the groundnuts in RSA as part of a capacity building exercise and also to pave theway for the testing of the groundnuts in Malawi. In Kenya, there are indications that once an eventis approved elsewhere, it is likely to receive timely approval subject to any additional testing thatthe National Biosafety Board may deem necessary. ICRISAT would have to collaborate with theKARI Institutional Biosafety Committee through which the application to the National BiosafetyCommittee would be made." @default.
