There is a need of concerted efforts by all stakeholders to overcome the<br />

identified challenges. Solutions to challenges include:-<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 />
