Key words: governance; access to seeds; seed regulations

It is my belief that this report will help to advance the understanding of the seed sector and biotechnology, increase Africa’s ability to consolidate the gains made in the last decade and address the challenges faced in order to realize Malabo Commitment III on ending hunger and malnutrition.
