MISSION
 

The Board has convened to draft generic DNA policy, legal, and regulatory frameworks to inform DNA legislation across Africa. By offering a regulatory foundation, the Board aims to empower African countries to develop their own DNA policies, laws, and regulations. This will enhance the use of forensic DNA in their criminal justice systems and humanitarian initiatives.
