Guidelines
National / Federal
Objective: To provide information and guidance to potential applicants on the requirements and procedures for the regulation of GM stacked events developed through conventional breeding (“Breeding Stacks”) or molecular techniques (“Molecular Stacks”).
Scope: These Guidelines shall apply to any person(s) or institution(s) in Ghana intending to introduce crops with stacked traits into the environment for cultivation or for use as food, feed, and for processing. These Guidelines further emphasize possible scenarios involving GM Breeding Stacks where:
a) the single events have already undergone regulatory approvals in Ghana or globally.
b) one or more of the single events have not undergone regulatory approvals in Ghana or globally.
c) none of the single events has undergone regulatory approvals in Ghana or globally.
