[7] Under the terms of the World Bank's Economic Reform Support Grant, OPHAVET was one of 14 public enterprises targeted in the 2006-2008 privatization program.
The others were OCIBU, BRB, Abattoir Public de Bujumbura (APB), REGIDESO, ONATEL, SOSUMO, COTEBU, UCAR, OTB, SOCABU and SIP.
[8] The target for the privatization of OPHAVET, APB, COTEBU, and the Source du Nil Hotel was the first half of 2007.

The sector was completely privatized, but public services were inspecting pharmacies to ensure that products were not a threat to animal and human health.
