African Center for Biodiversity (ACB)

African Center for Biodiversity (ACB) was established in 2003 in Johannesburg, South Africa, and registered in 2004. Previously named the African Centre for Biosafety, the name change was effected in April 2015, to reflect the expanded scope of the ACB's work over the past few years beyond biosafety. ACB has a long and respected track record of research and advocacy. Their current geographical focus is Southern and East Africa, with extensive continental and global networks. ACB does research, policy analysis and advocacy to transform seed policies, laws, regulations and programmes to protect, support and strengthen farmer-managed seed systems in Africa.
