Methodology for Product Quality Check
Targeted Interventions
Targeted surveillance is driven by intelligence gathered through various channels, including anonymous tips from the public, industry stakeholders, and other governmental agencies. Each tip is assessed for credibility before initiating a focused investigation on specific products or retailers suspected of malpractice.
Random Interventions
Random inspections serve as a quality assurance mechanism to ensure compliance with established laws and standards in the marketplace. Products are selected at random across various markets, providing a broader understanding of the product landscape in The Gambia.
