The Australian Government has allocated $1 million a year over four years to fund activities in this program in line with recommendations of the Keniry inquiry into the live animal export trade. The objectives are to:
- deliver better animal welfare outcomes in the handling and processing of live animals in importing countries
- support live animal exporting countries to raise their diagnostic and technical capabilities and understanding, including of WTO rules and requirements that govern the live animal trade, and
- provide other assistance as appropriate to advance the bilateral agricultural relationship with importing countries.
