The overarching goal is to achieve heightened biosecurity in South-East Asia through a comprehensive approach that involves multiple sectors.

​

This project aims to deliver a set of recommendations to enhance biosecurity management systems in South-East Asia. These recommendations encompass various aspects, including but not limited to: increasing awareness about biosecurity, refining legislation and guidelines, strengthening enforcement measures, addressing high-risk biological materials and facilities, advancing microbial forensics, establishing a robust framework for physical and information security in facilities (with consideration for emerging technologies), and promoting effective information exchange.

​

Additionally, the project seeks to equip the region with efficient tools to bolster its capacity to respond to highly communicable diseases and global catastrophic biological events, such as pandemics.
