Since 2004, UNCTAD has coordinated UN-Biotech, an inter-agency cooperation network on
biotechnology, which was set up by UN agencies undertaking
biotechnology-related activities, following a recommendation of the
Secretary-General for an integrated framework for biotechnology development.
UN-Biotech has met twice at UNCTAD in Geneva in conjunction with the annual
sessions of the CSTD in 2004 and 2005. Building on existing extensive
collaboration and partnerships among United Nations entities, UN-Biotech
seeks to complement and add value to existing programmes and projects by
facilitating synergies and joint efforts, so as to maximize system-wide
coordinated action and coherence, as well as the effectiveness of the
support provided to member States in their efforts to achieve the
development goals contained in the
Millennium
Declaration and
the outcome of World Summit on
Sustainable Development(WSSD).
