Progress and Constraints

Main Progress in Recent Years (legislation, policies, infrastructure, investments, training, etc.)

In 2006 AAQ has successfully issued 6 new Minister of Agriculture Decrees concerning plant quarantine. Four of the Decrees are in process of socialization to stake holders. Another activity was Training in PQ which produced about 60 PQ inspectors. While PQ infrastructures funded by the Government was designed to fulfill the needs of PQ stations throughout the country.

Main Constraints (personnel, infrastructure, administrative, operational, training, etc.)

The main constraint is the recruitment of PQ officers as the Government allows the recruitment for only certain amount of personnel per year.
