Abstract
Biosafety refers to a set of measures aimed at regulating and ensuring the safe use of genetic engineering and transnational movements of genetically modified organisms. It falls within the scope of the Cartagena Biosafety Protocol under the Convention of Biological Diversity that is intended to lay the foundation for a global system for assessing and managing the impact of genetic modified organisms on biodiversity. Most African governments believe that genetic engineering biotechnology is inherently safe, and only its misuse needs to be prevented. This is important as some products of modern biotechnology raise certain environmental safety issues.
