The Capacity building is based on the development and implementation of a programme of training of human resources in the trade or management of biological material in detection, diagnostics and monitoring of biological invasions and LMOs. Low levels of detection, diagnostic and monitoring capacity

Biosecurity is a series of measures to protect against the entry, establishment and spread of Invasive alien species (IAS) including living modified organisms that are deleterious to our human, animal and plant health, environment and our economy. It includes protection of Cameroons borders at the

Within this context of a risk-based biosecurity approach the project advocates using the ‘invasive management hierarchy’ when planning the management of biological invasions1. This concept states that prevention is better than early detection and rapid response, which is better than eradication

The present report realised in the framework of Activity 2.3.3 of the Cameroon Biosecurity Project (CBP) focuses on gaps and difficulties related to the incorporation of GMOs and pathogens in the formulation of a global strategy for the management of invasion risks in Cameroon. Indeed, previous

Currently management strategies for established biological invasions in Cameroon are rarely based on a systematic risk-based decision-making process. The work documented in this report seeks to address this weakness by facilitating a generic risk-based decision-making processes that can be used to

Commissioned under the GEF/UNEP, with the Ministry of Environment, Protection of Nature and Sustainable Development (MINEPDED) as the National Executing Agency and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER) as Head of Component Task 2, the main objective of this study is to produce

The Cameroon Biosecurity Project (CBP) aims to establish an objective riskbased approach to the evaluation of proposed species introductions and introduction pathways. This will utilise a cross-sectoral approach through the execution of pilot riskbased, systematic and transparent decision-making

The Ministry of Environment, Protection of Nature and Sustainable Development (MINEPDED) has commissioned under a Biosecurity Project entitled ‘Development and institution of a National Monitoring and Control System for Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) and Invasive Alien Species (IAS)’, the

Activity B14b was implemented with the aim of producing an inspection manual to manage introductions of IAS and LMOs into Cameroon. By the end of the Manual, trainees are expected to:

• Demonstrate an understanding of inspection systems, inspection methods and treatments processes for

This manual provides a “one-stop shop” for accessing information on management methods available for a range of prominent biological invaders known to be present in Cameroon.
