📍 This week 50 African states met in Kenya to exchange on BWC Implementation at the African Conference on the Biological Weapons Convention. Supported by the
#BWCISU and #SIMBA_BIO they identified challenges, needs and priorities in African subregions.

The organizations our fellows were paired with were: @cepi.net, @gavi.org @panaction.bsky.social, @ibbis-bio.bsky.social and #BWCISU

The side event opened with remarks from the 2025 Canadian Presidency of the #GPWMD, offering a forward-looking perspective on #SIMBA_BIO’s development.

The Chief of the #BWCISU also shared an overview of UNODA’s initiatives to support #1972BWC implementation in Africa.

📍 Today, on the margins of the Sixth Session of the Working Group on Strengthening the Biological Weapons Convention #1972BWC, a #SIMBA_BIO side event highlighted recent collaboration with the #BWCISU & African-GP partners.
