5.2 Solutions to Overcome the Challenges<br />
There is a need of concerted efforts by all stakeholders to overcome the<br />
identified challenges. Solutions to challenges include:-<br />
• Publicizing the convention through both print (newspapers), electronic<br />
media (Radio and Television) and information, educational and<br />
communication materials (brochure, posters, leaflets). This will enable<br />
stakeholders to understand the convention and its benefits. The language<br />
of the convention must be simplified for easy communication.<br />
• Sensitisation and awareness raising at all levels through seminars,<br />
conferences and workshops<br />
• Creation of a forum for dissemination of information (DGDs, import<br />
responses). The current technical teams are not effective unless they are<br />
expanded by including more members from other sectors.<br />
• Identification of a proper and sustainable funding mechanism to support<br />
the implementation of the Convention. This can be by contribution from all<br />
stakeholders, application for assistance from the secretariat or<br />
International Organizations.<br />
• Capacity building for the stakeholders on aspects of the Convention and<br />
its implementation.<br />
• Regional cooperation in the implementation of the Convention by sharing<br />
the available resources (human and financial)<br />
