Challenges

• Lack of awareness

• Shortage of human power and staff turnover

• People blindly block changes

• It is very tiresome

Opportunities

• Strong commitment and support from mgmts.

• Committed and devoted persons

• Competitive movement among labs

Future directions • Uninterrupted awareness creation and training to all EIAR

research staffs

• Materials and equipment exchange among EIAR labs and support from EIAR HQ/others

• Strongly establishing the ISO systems in all EIAR labs

• Supporting the labs with budgets

• Identifying important gaps on important test method/s and procedures; prioritize and implement

• Training labs staffs and arrange experience sharing; both inland and even abroad

• Constructing standardized labs by biosafety level and fulfilling with high level facilities specially at Ambo PPRC
