3 FOREWORD The Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries is mandated to support, promote and guide the production of livestock and crops for self-sufficiency and export. This mandate is under the provisions of the macroeconomic policies of liberalisation, privatisation and the Plan for Modernisation of Agriculture (PMA). The core function of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries is to formulate policies and strategies to fulfil the above mandate. The livestock sector is a very significant contributor to food security. However, animal production is constrained by diseases, the control of which invariably involves in part, the use of veterinary drugs. A policy to ensure that this area of the provision of veterinary services is adequately addressed is therefore vital. The veterinary drug policy covers the following areas: Veterinary drug supply; Veterinary drug legislation and inspection; Licensing of veterinary drug outlets; Disposal of expired or otherwise unwanted veterinary drugs and veterinary waste materials; Monitoring of drug residues in foods of animal origin; Quality assurance of veterinary drugs; Veterinary drugs information management system; Research in veterinary drugs and etbnoveterinary medicines; and Correct and safe use of veterinary drugs. 1
4 My Ministry will be responsible for the implementation of the policy on veterinary drugs in conjunction with other relevant agencies. The veterinary drug policy will operate along side the policy of the delivery of veterinary services and the two will constitute the National Animal Health Policy. Successful implementation of this veterinary drug policy shall call for the involvement of all the key stakeholders who should carefully focus on the most practical ways for effective collaboration to ensure that the policy objectives are sufficiently addressed. It should be borne in mind that a policy is dynamic and must be responsive to the changing circumstances. ACRONYMS MAAIF - Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry & Fisheries NDPAS - National Drug Policy and Authority Statute NDA - National Drug Authority UYB - Uganda Veterinary Board MOH - Ministry of Health ~~.~ W.Kisamba Mugerwa (Dr.) MP MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE, ANIMAL INDUSTRY AND FISHERIES 2 3
5 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Government established a National Drug Policy and Authority Statute (NDPAS) (1993) to ensure the availability, at all times of essential, efficacious and cost-effective drugs to the entire human and animal population of Uganda. The Ministry of Health is the custodian of the Drug Policy and Authority Statute. During its formulation, the veterinary sector was not adequately consulted although the NDPAS was to govern both human and veterinary drugs. Consequently, over the last seven years, veterinary drugs have been managed under a policy and legislation that had been designed on human drug management that does not suit the veterinary sector. The mandate of MAAIF is to support, promote and guide the production of crops, livestock and fisheries so as to ensure improved quality and quantity of agricultural produce and products for domestic consumption, food security and export. Inline with this mandate, MAAIF is responsible for the disease control, which entails the use of drugs among other things. Sectoral policy formulation is a core responsibility of MAAIF. It is therefore pertinent that a policy on Veterinary Drugs is developed and implemented by the parent ministry. This renders justification to the formulation of the veterinary drug policy within the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries. An overall policy for the Delivery of Veterinary Services has been put in place, which specifies the roles of the public and private sectors and outlines strategies for their delivery as well as making recommendations for delivery standards. The National Veterinary Drug Policy will operate hand in hand with the policy on the Delivery of Veterinary Services. Botb policies will constitute the National Animal Health Policy framework that will support and promote the developmental issues of the sub-sector as articulated in the Plan for the Modernisation of Agriculture. 1.2 Current Animal Population and Distribution The livestock population in Uganda consists of about 5.6 million cattle, 3.8 million goats, 1.3 million sheep, 1.5 million pigs and 23 million poultry. The population of dogs/cats is estimated at 1.5 million. Over 90% of the cattle are indigenous Sanga, Zebu and Nganda which are kept by smallholder farmers and grazed communally. There are about 278,000 dairy and 200,000 improved beef cattle About 50% of the cattle population is found in southern and western Uganda where the average number of cattle per household is 2.11 compared to eastern and northern Uganda at 0.67 and the national average at There is potential for the sub-sector to increase the production and productivity of the national animal resource if achievable animal health strategies are put in place in a sustainable way. 4 5
6 2.0 SITUATION ANALYSIS The National Drug Authority and Statute (1993) has insufficient guidelines in respect ofthe management and administrative issues concerning veterinary drugs. The Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries shall house the National Veterinary Drug Policy and shall ensure that appropriate strategies and a legal structure are in place to achieve the desired objectives. Representation of the veterinary sector at both the NDA and management levels is inadequate. Whereas the medical sector has statutory committees that specifically address issues related to human drugs, only an adhoc committee with statutory powers represents the veterinary sector. A policy articulating drug issues pertinent to the practice of veterinary medicine is therefore appropriate and this fits into the current mandate of the line ministry. In the proposed National Veterinary Drug Policy, the following areas are focused on: i. Veterinary drug quantification, manufacturing,.. li IV. v. VL.. ViI. Vlll. IX. procurement, storage, distribution and usage Veterinary drug registration and inspection Licensing veterinary drug outlets Disposal of expired or otherwise unwanted veterinary drugs Monitoring of drug residues in foods of animal origin Research in veterinary drugs and ethnoveterinary medicines Quality assurance Veterinary drug information management system Correct and safe use of veterinary drugs r r t 3.0 POLICY STATEMENT The National Veterinary Drug Policy statement and strategic framework has been formulated within the context of the 1995 Constitution, the Local Government Act of 1997 and in line with the broad National Policies of Liberalisation and Privatisation. The statement also takes into consideration the objectives of the multisectoral strategic plan for the Modernisation of Agriculture. 3.1 The Vision Access to quality veterinary drugs by au stakeholders for sustainable animal health and production. 3.2 The Mission To promote and ensure the availability and use of quality veterinary drugs in a professional manner. 3.3 Policy Objective The overall objective of the veterinary drug policy is to provide an enabling environment for the manufacture, procurement and proper usage of good quality veterinary drugs by all stakeholders in the country. 6 7
7 3.4 Guiding Principles The following constitute the guiding principles for the veterinary drug policy: o Equitable distribution of quality veterinary drugs shall be o assured for animal owners using both the public and private veterinary service providers. Proper use of veterinary drugs shall be regularly monitored to reduce risks associated with public health and development of resistance to drugs and chemicals. o Assurance that production, usage and disposal of veterinary drugs is in accordance with the guidelines of the National Environmental Management Action Plan. o Assurance that the veterinary drug policy objectives comply with international standards. o Assurance of importation and exportation of quality, safe and efficacious veterinary drugs. 3.5 Policy Areas To achieve this objective, the policy shall address the following areas: Animal Drugs Supply (Quantification, manufacture, procurement, storage, distribution and usage) To support and promote a reliable cost-effective veterinary drugs supply system in order to ensure that the required essential animal drugs are available and accessible. Explanation A reliable supply of cost-effective veterinary drugs is essential in the maintenance of a healthy animal population Objective To ensure availability of safe, efficacious and affordable veterinary drugs Strategies MAAlF shall guide the private sector to ensure that it efficiently and effectively makes available safe and efficacious veterinary drugs in accordance with the national requirements.
