Change Management, Public Sector Development and Programme Support

The objective of the programme is to create a dynamic, well functioning, competent and effective institution (MAIL and its Provincial Departments) through a process of reform and structural adjustment. Thisprepares it to meet the challenges of the 21^stCentury and respond to the needs and demands of the agriculture sector.

There is a need to accelerate MAIL’s transition process and to rapidly transform the Ministry. The first step in the Change Management process is to identify key public sector responsibilities and functions which need to be strengthened. These include: policy and strategy formulation, legal and regulatory framework preparation, quality control and food safety, veterinary public health and plant protection, standards and certification, monitoring and evaluation and the ability to enforce the regulations and standards. The programme implementation and coordination capabilities of MAIL will require further development to meet the expected expansion of programme and project activities in the agriculture sector. Based on the identification of the future ministry functions and duties, appropriate organizational and institutional frameworks need to be created.
