Biosciences and modern biotechnology in particular, are seen as one of the major engines of growth in the world in fields such as human health, industrial processes and agriculture.
Emerging developments in biosciences offer the promise of a new means to address a number of constraints that are limiting productivity and sustainable development in Africa.
Mobilising emerging developments in biosciences in Africa requires identifying priority problems and the pathways required for successful technology development and delivery. Success will require human capacity (scientific and technical), access to appropriate laboratory facilities and equipment for key strategic and applied research, and an enabling environment to allow for the responsible use of bioscience directed at African issues.
