1 Canada-Kyrgyz Cooperation to Combat BW Proliferation and the Spread of Infectious Diseases

2 Global Partnership Program Under Canada s leadership, the G8 launched the Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction at the 2002 G8 Summit in Kananaskis We commit ourselves to prevent terrorists, or those that harbour them, from acquiring or developing nuclear, chemical, radiological and biological weapons; missiles; and related materials, equipment and technology. G8 committed up to US $20B over 10 years Canada = $1 billion ~$120 million for Biological nonproliferation 2

3 Kyrgyz Republic Contemporary biological proliferation challenges and threats: numerous biological facilities store and work on dangerous pathogens that are endemic in Kyrgyzstan diseases of terrorist concern, e.g. plague, anthrax, FMD and brucella facilities are in states of serious decay Cooperation with Canada is strengthening Kyrgyz capacity to combat Infectious Diseases 3

4 Canada s GPP BNP Response Canada s Global Partnership Program (GPP) is implementing a comprehensive biological non-proliferation program in the Kyrgyz Republic ~ $45 million Biosecurity Biosecurity & Biosafety Biosafety Training Guidelines Associations Upgrades Scientific Scientific Cooperation Cooperation Biological Biological Non-Proliferation Non-Proliferation Initiatives Initiatives 4

5 1. Science Center International Science and Technology Center Canada joined ISTC in 2004 as a full-funding Party Canada has funded ~ 35 Biotechnology Projects to date Canada has to date funded 8 science projects worth ~$3 million in Kyrgyz Republic SB106 - Supplementary Budget for Biosafety & Biosecurity 2009 = $2 million Upgrade projects in Kyrgyzstan (e.g. communication upgrades) 5

6 2. Non-Proliferation 1. Strengthening Conventions (Principle 1) Biological & Toxin Weapons Convention Accession Implementation (e.g. Legislation, CBMs) Sept 2009 Workshop for CA & Caucasus Countries Participation (e.g. Annual Meetings & MX, RevCons) Geneva Protocol 2.

8 4. Laboratory Facilities iv. Facility Upgrades Inadequate laboratory facilities pose a security risk and do not allow proper disease surveillance, detection, diagnosis, and containment of infectious diseases Renovations underway at three (3) Ministry of Health biological facilities (Bishkek, Osh and Karakol) $1.3 million; Completion by September 2009 Provision of 3 vehicles for transport of dangerous goods Biosecurity Biosafety, Biocontainment 8

9 New Level III Containment Laboratory Canada s Global Partnership Program is building a new BSL3 laboratory in Kyrgyz Republic. 4. Laboratory Facilities Consolidate and secure the countries collection of dangerous pathogens Will serve as the central repository, consolidating all BSL3 activities conduct human and animal health diagnostics in a secure and safe manner ~ 180 personnel Capacity building Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture, National Academy of Sciences 9
