DNA MAP PROJECT
Help us to gather accurate information on the forensic capacity status of all 52 countries in Africa
e.g. which States have DNA laws, the size of their DNA databases and number of forensic science labs in place. We aim to build an up-to-date map to accurately reflect the forensic status quo of all regions in Africa and would love your help by asking to submit details from your country. #DNA-MAP PROJECT
