VISION, STRATEGY and PARTNERS COLLABORATION - Policy Notes
Theme: Sanitary Standards and Food Safety
With increased market access being one of the key requirements for pro-poor livestock development, it becomes a major challenge to develop a policy framework, which meets the sanitary standards for export sanitary certification and provides for the establishment of disease free zones needed for access to formal market (at national, regional and international levels), but safeguards also the interests of small producers, processors and retailers against the economies of scale affecting food safety, and would not take the product out of reach of the poor consumers.
Issues such as two-tier standards and public and private sector roles are still hotly debated.
