DIRECTOR, LEATHER AND LEATHER PRODUCTS INSTITUTE (LLPI)

I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

The Leather and Leather Products Institute was established in accordance with the Thirteenth Meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Preferential Trade Area for the Eastern and Southern African States, meeting in Arusha Tanzania, in 1988. The Headquarters of LLPI is in Addis Ababba, Ethiopia and its objectives are:

  1. promote cooperation among LLPI members in the training of personnel for the leather industry at various levels along the leather and leather products value chain, including hides and skins, of tanneries, production managers, quality control specialists, skilled operators and leather technologists, leather goods technicians, designers and leather engineers for the maintenance of equipment;

  1. promote research and development activities in the area of raw hides and skins, work methods and indigenous chemicals and materials used in leather manufacture, the testing, evaluation and development of local raw materials such as tanning chemicals;

  1. promote the provision of consultancy services in the area of leather and leather products to industry and related services in the sub-region;

Furthermore, the Council of Ministers and the Heads of State summit that met in Djibouti in 2006 identified the Leather and leather products sector as one of the key priority sectors for enhancing value addition, diversification, industrialisation, employment and wealth creation, poverty reduction and thus economic growth of the region. This was in recognition that the region has a comparative advantage in the sector and the sector employs more SMEs along the value chain. In pursuit to enhance the Sector development, COMESA and LLPI have developed a Leather and Leather Products Sectoral Value Chain Strategy which will guide the development of the sector with main focus on value addition and diversification. To this end a Core Team comprising of both private and public sector players along the value chain has been established to oversee the implementation of the strategy and to advise COMESA LLPI member States how to enhance value addition and thus move away from trading in raw hides and skins.
