Scientists, media professionals end Arusha meeting with commitment for enhanced relationship to improve science communication
African Union (AU)’s quest for member countries to embrace and apply modern scientific tools including biotechnology to redeem Africa’s agriculture from the vagaries of pests, diseases and undesirable climatic conditions, will require the commitment of all stakeholders especially scientists, science communicators and science journalists.
This group of stakeholders include those who generate, translate, repackage and disseminate information to targeted stakeholders and the general public. They play a key role in the processes that may lead to successful public input and eventual key support in the development, decision-making and adoption of biotechnology and genetic biocontrol technologies for animal, public health, and conservation in Africa.
