The Animal Health Technology Innovation Cluster Programme (AHTICP) was established as a national initiative that would exploit a high concentration of skills, expertise, and infrastructure. The initiative was aimed at stimulating and intensifying technology innovation within the animal health sector. The establishment of this cluster advocated for the participation of various institutions within the National System of Innovation.

Whereas TIA has realised that industry-led initiatives are the best operating practice and has identified a need for an appropriate entity to collaborate with and lead the strategic mandate of the Cluster. It is therefore envisaged that the Cluster be housed, hosted and managed by the identified institution;

As a result, TIA intends to appoint a host under the programme above, whereas TIA and the host will be required to enter into the Agreement to regulate their relationship concerning the above matters and any other matters incidental to it.

Therefore, TIA extends invitation to a prospective and capable institution to collaborate and host the management of the cluster by sending an expression of interest to host the Cluster herein referred. The expression of interest will be used to identify the most capable and appropriate entity to host the cluster within the context and objectives of its mandate.
