In order to ensure the

National Building Capacity for Effective Participation in the

Biosafety Clearing-House (BCH) Project implementation,

training workshops and other activities will be held during the

project. The training component cost of the project will

constitute USD 9,461 (attached in Annex 2, as Form 4

B).

The NEA, under the leadership of the BCH Task

Force, prepared a cost plan (attached Form 4), covering the

organization and implementation of nBCH national level training

workshops on the use of the BCH with the support of experts

trained through the UNEP-GEF BCH project, and nBCH workshops on

the BCH databases, and regulatory development, as well as nBCH

Task Force meetings. This plan outlines the training strategy,

content and resources to be used, and justifies the choices made

as well as the number of workshops/training sessions organized.

Participants will be selected among representatives from relevant

government agencies and departments, who will have a key role in

either (i) making policy decisions about the national BCH or (ii)

using and administering the BCH to fulfill national obligations

(e.g., certain members of the National Coordinating Committees

formed under the National Biosafety Framework project or similar

bodies).
