This project strengthen the UN Secretary General’s Mechanism for Investigation of Alleged Use of Chemical and Biological Weapons (UNSGM), as well as broader biosecurity priorities in support of the Global Partnership against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction. Project activities include: (1) providing training (focusing on the development and delivery of specialised courses by Canadian experts); and (2) providing technical expertise in development of protocols, standard operating procedures, etc. This Project will result in increased readiness of key international organisations and the global community to better respond to potential deliberate biological events.
