There is quite an amount of work to be done on capacity building to support implementation at a national level and research. The Department will lead on this as well as on the legislative element. Quite a significant opportunity will arise from the protocol. The general sense of direction of this work is to collaborate with all of the stakeholders to ensure implementation of the protocol. We are confident that all of the stakeholders we have mentioned will play a positive active role in the implementation.
