Grant Description

The activity will increase the SPS regulatory capacity of CAFTA-DR FTA countries to support the adoption of science based standards set by WTO and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), while supporting FASs three strategic goals.

Through coordination with APHIS and appropriate ministry officials, OCBD will implement two trade capacity building activities focused on animal health surveillance systems; activities will build upon previous work done to eliminate SPS and TBT barriers through identifying animal health surveillance system deficiencies.
