THEME C

Pathway Risk Management

Fit-for-purpose tools and methodologies for reducing risks along importation pathways.

Theme Scope:

  • Detection tools: detection and sampling tools for use on importation pathways, data collection and analysis to refine criteria for directing pathway risk management efforts, and intelligence and profiling systems for risk detection
  • New risk reduction options: new interventions and strategies for reducing risk within a systems context
  • Verifying compliance and efficacy: methods for inspecting and verifying the integrity of pathway compliance within a systems approach.
