EUROPEAID - LIVE - Linking Institutions for Veterinary Education

CEMAC (Communauté Economique et Monétaire de l’Afrique Centrale) countries, have a considerable potential in the agro-food sector, but the structures of their agriculture are still generally based on small family-based farms that cannot ensure the responsiveness to present and future demographic pressures. it is therefore necessary to upgrade all farming inputs, the infrastructures for the treatment of animal foods, and above all the human resources responsible for animal health and for the sanitary control schemes. Since a project alone cannot solve all those problems at once, LIVE focuses specifically on one of them: the lack of qualified human resources. LIVE aims at enhancing the capacities of CEMAC countries in implementing and managing higher education systems in the strategic fields of veterinary sciences, animal health, animal production and food safety.
