“The conclusions and recommendations in this report are the committee’s response to their charge as reflected in the Statement of Task. The Committee was asked to review and assess the current state of knowledge pertaining to the meaning and scope of biosafety and biosecurity with a view to informing both policymakers and legislators in Uganda as they attempt to come up with a pertinent national policy and regulatory framework. After listening to testimony as provided by presenters in the open session (see Appendix B), the Committee deliberated in closed session for two days. Using the testimony presented, published literature and their own expertise, the Committee reached conclusions and made recommendations that provide a clearer picture of how Cabinet and Parliament in Uganda can come up with evidence-based policies and legislation with respect to biosafety and biosecurity.”
