Advances in bioscience innovations is key to fast-tracking Africa’s development and transformation process.The continent’s chance to benefit from these technologies lies heavily on its ability to efficiently develop, regulate and communicate their potential and risks.However, perceptions about any form of induced genetic variations are highly influenced by the continuing emotion - based GMO - food debate.Thus, the need for Africa to adopt appropriate communication approaches that will facilitate uptake.
Why ABBC?
The Africa Biennial Biosciences Communication(ABBC) symposium is a platform for biosciences stakeholders to constructively exchange experiences and best practices towards improving biosciences communications.The ABBC symposium aims at providing an Africa- based and African - led platform to interrogate best communication practices that will facilitate informed decision - making on bioscience innovations in the region.
