Synopsis (short abstract) Uganda has a relatively comprehensive policy and regulatory framework to prevent, detect and respond to outbreaks of zoonotic diseases and AMR along the livestock value chain. Its full implementation, however, remains a challenge. One of the reasons is that there is little systematic information on the challenges and constraints policy implementers face on the ground. The FAO, through the Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 Project, has joined forces with the government of Uganda and the district governments of Mukono and Wakiso and other stakeholders to support the implementation of the existing policy and regulatory framework along the poultry value chain. This brief provides a summary of the efforts made over the past two years in close collaboration with private and public stakeholders.

The Progressive Management Pathway for Terrestrial Animal Biosecurity (PMP-TAB) is a collaborative, stepwise approach to assessing and managing biological risks, to strengthen biosecurity in terrestrial animal production and associated value chains. Strengthening biosecurity will minimise health threats, including disease and antimicrobial resistance, improve production and enhance livelihoods through socioeconomic benefits. In Tanzania, the focus is on pig value chain actors, initially producers, to adopt minimum biosecurity practices at the farm level. This brief presents a snapshot of biosecurity in the Tanzania pig sector and a quick assessment of the capacity of public and private animal health services suppliers to interact and cooperate with livestock farmers and facilitate their adoption of good biosecurity practices and compliance with animal health legislation to ensure prevention and timely detection of animal disease and improve health outcomes. Existing laws, regulations and guidelines on biosecurity can make a difference only to the extent they reach and are applied by livestock farmers.

Despite latent domestic and international market potential for a number of Jamaican agricultural products, many agricultural value chains in the country are characterized by weak connectivity among actors, fragmented coordination, and insufficient resources and technical support to farmers In addition, the lack of professional farmers organizations and limited capacity of many smallholder farmers to be able to deliver consistent quality and quantity of produce required by buyers has also held back the development of high potential subsectors These persistent issues in priority subsectors act as disincentives for private financing along key value chains Private investments are essential to promote and drive competitive industries in a range of fresh and value added Jamaican agricultural products Against this background, the MoAF 1 which is at the centre of promoting the development of competitiveness in the agricultural sector, required support to strengthen the skills and hands on experience of staff to implement systematic and market oriented sector development plans Therefore, in collaboration with the MoAF the project aimed to improve the capacity of key stakeholders to better meet current market requirements, increase delivery, and/or develop new market opportunities or products as well as to facilitate the establishment of new public private partnerships ( that would link lead firms with smallholder farmers, to promote agricultural development.
