The FAO Regional project on Capacity Building in Biosafety of GM
Crops in Asia known as ' Asian BioNet" puts out this training
manual to assist countries to develop the government people and
scientists to become more effective agents and carriers of
information on products of modern technology. This manual was the
main output of the Regional Training Workshop on Public Awareness
and Participation conducted in Manila, Philippines in 2004 by the '
Asian BIoNet' for the project participating countries. Tools and
procedures included were jointly designed with the participants,
who were mainly government officers and researchers, with the idea
of putting the regulators and scientists in the forefront to make
them reach out to the public.
