This only makes more urgent the need for developing countries, for which these fields are vital, to acquire the means and skills necessary to master this technology.
Tunisia has taken this step by implementing a Biotechnological plan. This plan materialized, among other things, by the creation of the Sfax Biotechnology Center (CBS).
The CBS was created by decree n ° 83-1037 of November 4, 1983, reorganizing the National Institute for Scientific and Technical Research. Since January 1989, the CBS has become an independent institution whose budget is attached by order to the state budget.

The CBS is today structured into 6 Research Laboratories and 5 Specialized Units in accordance with the 2019-2022 Program-Contract:
