The Ministry of Environment, Protection of Nature and Sustainable Development (MINEPDED) has commissioned under a Biosecurity Project entitled ‘Development and institution of a National Monitoring and Control System for Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) and Invasive Alien Species (IAS)’, the development of a Technical Manual on Commodity Audit Systems and specifically Biological Risk Management (BRM) of biological risks of Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) and Invasive Alien Species (IAS) from production, during transit and post-harvest considering all points of entry in Cameroon.
Drawing on global good practice and existing national initiatives, the Cameroon Biosafety
Project (CBP) documented the current biosecurity profile through trade and other activities, identifying the main pathways for species introduction in the country (MINEPDED, 2012). The report highlights the main risk pathways for which specific risks are to be quantified using risk analysis methods to enable implementation of appropriate and effective risk management options (MINEPDED, 2012). Furthermore, the CBP formulated risk management strategies for biological invasion risk pathways in Cameroon (MINEPDED, 2015).
The Technical Manual serves as a guidance document for decision makers in Cameroon providing an overview of the key elements of Commodity Audit Systems (CAS) and highlighting areas of attention that may require capacity building and/ or enhancement. The Technical Manual also serves to inform those responsible at the operational level, namely, Customs Officers, Phytosanitary Inspectors, and other Persons with a mandate to train operational staff responsible for CAS presenting additional aspects to Conventional CAS by drawing special attention to LMOs and IAS.
