The up to 15 participants in each of the two trainings include ABS National Focal Points and representatives of Competent National Authorities for ABS, negotiators in the last meeting of the ABS Working Group, staff of national research and development institutions, NGOs from the local, national and regional level, staff of international institutions, as well as relevant private sector representatives including farmers and breeders.

Preference will be given to participants from Eastern Africa, as the training will be offered in the other African regions at a later stage of the implementation of the Initiative.
