On a separate mission to Sierra Leone, the Competent Authority Inspectors were trained in the use of Procedures. In Liberia, MEP worked on the identification of fishery product food safety issues and the determination of a plan of action for inspection and certification of fishery products for export. In Kiribati, MEP drafted food safety legislation.
