The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has partnered with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) on a human capacity development initiative in South Africa that will focus on developing skills in good manufacturing practices (GMPs) for biomanufacturing. This partnership will provide training grants to 112 South African participants to attend courses through the existing African Biomanufacturing Workforce Development Programme at the CSIR and will further develop its contents.
