Through this three-year project, CICTE aims to improve biosafety and biosecurity in beneficiary countries in line with UNSCR 1540 (2004), in particular through the establishment and enforcement of effective measures to prevent the proliferation of biological weapons and their means of delivery.

Technical assistance and cooperation with Member States that support the overall aim of the project will be based upon the following main objectives:

  • strengthening biosafety and biosecurity standards in beneficiary countries;

  • enhancing legal and regulatory frameworks on biosafety and biosecurity and harmonising them with existing international standards;

  • strengthening collaboration and cooperation, in particular through 1540 peer review exercises;

  • facilitating continuous training on biosafety and biosecurity.
