COMCEC uses the COMCEC Project Funding (CPF), a financing mechanism introduced in 2013, with a view to financing projects submitted by member states and institutions of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in supported thematic sectors, including in the fields agriculture, trade and finance.

The International Conference on Globalising the Trust in Halal Certification will take place within the scope of the COMCEC-funded “Developing Human Capital in OIC Countries for Technical Halal Auditing Based on the SMIIC Halal Certification System & Halal Quality Infrastructure” project.

The project and the conference represents OIC’s efforts to ensure a common understanding and application of SMIIC’s harmonized halal standards to avoid duplication of certificates in the trade of halal products, thus contributing to the elimination of technical barriers to trade and reducing certification costs.
