The Open Forum on Agricultural Biotechnology in Africa (OFAB) Project facilitates constructive conversations among key stakeholders and decision-makers on agricultural biotechnology. For both policymakers and the larger public, OFAB facilitates quality engagements and conversations on the safety and benefits of modern biotechnology.

The objectives include:

• Establish and manage a range of platforms to enhance understanding of biotechnology in agriculture for productivity;
• Contribute to informing policy decision making processes on matters of agricultural biotechnology through the provision of factual, well researched and scientific information;
• Forge strategic alliances for optimization of resources through convening and encouraging inter-institutional networking and knowledge sharing in the agricultural biotechnology space;
• Enhance targeted capacity strengthening that will improve communication across all sectors interested in biotechnology for African agricultural development.
