A Biosciences Facility for Eastern and Central Africa is being established as part of NEPAD`s (New Partnership for Africas Development) continent-wide network of centres of excellence. Establishment of the new Facility has been made possible by an initial investment of more than Canadian $30 million by the Canada Fund for Africa through the Canadian International Development Agency. The facilities will be hosted by the International Livestock Research Institute, in Nairobi, Kenya. Biosciences embrace a wide range of biological specialisations related to all living organisms, including animals, microbes, plants and trees.
