Public-Private Partnerships

Public-private partnerships are essential for strengthening SPS systems through shared responsibility and collaboration. By bringing together the expertise and resources of governments and businesses, these partnerships can align goals, tackle SPS challenges, and develop innovative solutions. Joint efforts enhance compliance, improve risk management, and promote more efficient supply chains.

Collaborative approaches build trust among stakeholders, reduce costs, and streamline processes, leading to more predictable and transparent trade environments. Strong public-private partnerships contribute to a robust SPS framework that supports safe, inclusive, and sustainable trade outcomes.
