COMESA and USAID/USDA worked with SPS stakeholders in Ethiopia to use the MCDA framework in 2012.
Representatives of public and private sector stakeholders participated in a stakeholder workshop on 6-10 August to agree on SPS capacity building options to be included in the analysis.
National experts playing a leading role in the SPS MCDA work came from the phytosanitary services, the Ministry of Trade, academia, the Ministry of Health, and UNIDO.
The draft report was distributed to participants in September 2012. Following the inclusion of comments, a revised draft was released at the end of November 2012. The revised final report is expected in late March 2013, and will take into account additional research and more detailed studies (including improved data) on some of the capacity building options.
