The Committee acknowledged that their knowledge around the details of existing biotechnology projects and programmes was limited. They are even more concerned about the level of public understanding and awareness around these. The Committee resolved to engage with the relevant structures under DST and NRF to explain what biotechnology awareness programmes exist and how it is promoted at the different levels in our society (educators, learners, consumers, communities). The Committee will incorporate more visits to other biotechnology initiatives, specifically those falling under the Biotechnology Innovation Centre's (BIC's) in their programme.
