    The agricultural sector in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan andTajikistan is responsible for 20–50 percent of the population'slivelihoods. While the global cultivation of genetically modified (GM)crops is increasing, the authorization for cultivation or import of thesecrops as food and feed stuffs is not harmonized between countriesand is becoming increasingly more complex despite the internationalagreements, such as the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (CPB).Additionally, the necessary expertise and facilities for comprehensiveassessment and management of risks, related to genetically modifiedorganisms, was lacking in all four countries. This project developedcapacities in all four countries, implemented the internationalobligations and ensured decent livelihoods and food security in ruralareas through increased agricultural production.
