Detalles de la actividad

Descripción de la iniciativa

The United States has invested considerable time and resources into the creation of its website and database which is interoperable with the International Biosafety Clearing-House, and wishes to share its experience with others. By doing so, it hopes to facilitate transparent, science-based evaluations of Living Modified Organisms.

The United States will be making the template (architecture) for its website and database freely available to interested parties to enable them to store and manage their information locally, and then report it to the central portal of the Biosafety Clearing-House as prescribed by the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. A beta version is now available as of March 30, 2004. Click at the link below for more information on becoming a beta user. When complete, countries will be able to download the blank template from this site and enter their data directly into it. This will greatly facilitate the development of national databases.

The United States will provide support to developing countries wishing to use this template by sponsoring training workshops in conjunction with UNEP-GEF, as well as providing phone and email technical support. Information on phone and email support will be available on this site once the template becomes available.

The design template, which will store national data and create the reportable XML files, will meet the standards set within the pilot phase of the Biosafety Clearing-House.

Objectives
The use of the templates will provide a starting point for the development of the technical portion of the National Biosafety Framework. The templates are easy to modify, easy to use, and provide a great quick start package for implementation of a National BCH and website presence.

Training and technical support are provided in conjunction with the UNEP BCH Project.
