• 2005: Kamuli pork butchers in search for land
• No community land available
• Problems with Muslim community
• 2013: inauguration of the slaughter slab and formation of a butchers association
• 400m2 allocated by Catholic mission
• 10-15 butchers organized in association

• Letter of purchase confirming ownership• Buyer’s token of 7,000 UGX per pig for cleaning, scalding,
evisceration, inspection fee, charge fee • Info from meat inspectors training used to upgrade
slaughter slab and train local butchers
• 2014: All beginnings are difficult
• Work poorly structured and enforced
• April 2014: training of pig meat inspectors by Safe Food, Fair Food project on general hygienic practices and structured meat inspection
• Meat transport in proper container (wooden box + aluminum sheet)
• Butchers must wear white coats
• More systematic carcass inspection
• People prefer buying inspected meat
• Pig theft was reduced
• LG interested in collecting taxes
Things that have changed:
• Need for more staff (currently beef+pork)
• Need for more equipment (lab confirmation)
• Need for more space to expand
Expectations:
… a designated slaughter slab with permanent structures such as concrete floors, tap water and roofing;
to further improve on hygiene compliance;
to have a functioning lab to further investigate on lesions they increasingly come across now –
and to eventually „chase the Kampala traders back to where they came from“.
Our vision:
