Public-private partnership in food quality analysis in Burkina Faso
In an overall context of public sector resource constraints and an agri-food industry dominated by micro- and small-scale enterprises, there has been a growing role for the use of research laboratories as a quality promotion tool in Burkina Faso. These laboratories, which receive scientific and financial support from a range of bilateral and international partners, have become the local partner of choice for many private sector food processors and various government services. The public-private partnership involves staff training in Good Practices and HACCP, the training of enterprise quality supervisors, the analysis and quality control of foodstuffs, and the carrying out of incompany tests and experiments for research purposes. This process is favorable to technology transfer, and is helping to spread a “quality culture” in the food processing sector. However, constraints remain. In particular, links between the research laboratories and other government services remain weak. From the private sector's point of view, the research laboratories still charge too much for their services and do not respond quickly enough either for producing results or for solving specific operational problems.
