Stakeholders sensitization in Moyale on Mandate of NBA

Following the establishment of a new office at the Moyale One Stop Border Post (OSBP), the National Biosafety Authority (NBA) on Thursday, 6th May 2026, conducted a stakeholders’ sensitization workshop to educate relevant government partner agencies, clearing agents, importers and members of the public on the safe handling, use and transfer of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in line with its mandate. The border office is expected to strengthen the regulation, monitoring and control of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) entering or leaving the country and will also help the Authority to: monitor the import, export and transit of GMO products, ensure compliance with biosafety regulations and international agreements, inspect documentation and permits for GMO consignments and prevent illegal or unauthorized movement of GMOs.
