RFP Number: 217783/ Development of Database for Livestock Identification and Traceability System [LITS]
The Feed the Future East Africa Market Systems Activity [EAMS] is a five-year project designed to strengthen regional resilience in East Africa by increasing cross-border trade in select value chains (VCs) and enhancing regional integration to overcome barriers to trade, ultimately strengthening the system to absorb, adapt, recover, and transform in times of shocks and stresses. EAMS will collaborate closely with USAID/KEA’s regional intergovernmental partners, including the East African Community [EAC], the intergovernmental Authority on Development [IGAD], and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa [COMESA). It will focus on the East African countries of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan, and Zambia – all of whom are a member of at least one of the regional economic communities [RECs).
The overall purpose of this assignment is to design a prototype database for regional Livestock Identification and Traceability System [LITS). The system will boost efficiency in public health, enhance response to animal disease outbreak, food safety and trade in live livestock and livestock products in imports and exports.
