MALAYSIAN TECHNICAL COOPERATION PROGRAM
MTCP was officially launched on 7 September 1980 at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Regional Meeting (CHOGRM) in New Delhi to signify Malaysia’s commitment to South-South Cooperation, in particular to share its development experiences and expertise with other developing countries. Based on the belief that the development of a country depends on the quality of its human resources, MTCP emphasizes the development of human resources through the provision of training in various areas which are essential for a country’s development such as public administration, good governance, health services, education, sustainable development, agriculture, poverty alleviation, investment promotion, ICT and banking. Annually, MTCP collaborates with its leading Training Institutions to conduct capacity building programmes in various key areas of development. Since its inception in 1980, more than 33,000 participants from 144 recipient countries have benefited from the various programmes offered under MTCP.
The Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) initiated its first training modules for MTCP in the year 1985. The trainings have been continuously conducted by the department until the year 2010. Over 1051 participants from 147 developing countries have benefited from MTCP courses within that 17 years period of trainings.
The successfully conducted training modules included Veterinary Management Development Programme (VADP), Animal Feed, Quail Production in Tropics, Information and Communication Technology, Artificial Breeding in Cattle, Animal feed and Quality Assurance, HACCP- Based Inspection System, Poultry Management and Diagnostic and Animal Quarantine Management. For 2019, DVS is highlighting a revised training module entitled; Food Safety: Inspection and Certification Services of DVS
