The comments submitted by the AVMA were in response to a request to stakeholders by the FDA CVM requesting feedback on a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analysis CVM is currently conducting. |
As requested the AVMA focused on three main areas:
- Forces outside the CVM boundaries that are helping to shape the organization;
- Perceived strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats influencing CVM;
- Organizational sustainability to support external trends, opportunities and challenges
Forces outside the CVM boundaries that are helping to shape the organization include demands of population growth, activist groups, and public risk aversion related to food safety. A SWOT analysis was also conducted to highlight the perceived strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats influencing CVM. In regards to organizational sustainability to support external trends, opportunities and challenges, AVMA suggests that the FDA must insist that all legislative mandates receive full funding for FDA to implement.
