Division (b) Multiplication of training sessions at national and/or sub-national levels

Furthermore, a local pool of trainers will be developed through the abovementioned workshops, allowing to multiply training sessions at national and/or sub-national level, and thus address a variety of national stakeholders. Support will be provided in particular to those regional countries, which are not benefitting from Project 2, up to seven times in total, possibly with participation of external experts to support awareness raising among relevant stakeholders and strengthen local technical capacity to implement regionally agreed good practices at central, intermediate and peripheral levels. Wherever possible, the involvement of regional and/or national Biosafety Associations will be considered.

These activities will be carried out in a maximum of seven countries identified as suitable either individually or in combination.
