Assisting Bioethics Committees (ABC) Training Session on Working Methods

Training workshops on working methods will take place in the following countries: Togo (28-29 January), Ghana (29-31 January), Guinea (6-8 April), and Gabon (8-10 June) from the African continent. These countries have already established national (bio) ethics committees and training workshop on working methods is the first activity in the Assisting Bioethics Committees (ABC) project. Each committee has to develop its working methods and procedures, which will imply further specifications and applications of its mandate as formulated in its terms of reference. Practical experiences and best practices of committees that are operational for a much longer time can be shared and discussed, so that the recently established committees can learn from the successes and failures of other committees. The overall objectives of the training sessions are to clarify the role and mission of the committee, develop clear working methods, draft rules of procedure, and develop policies for record management, public information and networking.
