Training events

AGNS is involved in organising and implementing a wide variety of awareness-raising, capacity building and training activities at the national, sub-regional and regional levels. These include seminars, training of trainers' courses and workshops, through which we are able to highlight specific issues and initiate programmes of action. These activities also facilitate the constructive exchange of information between countries and help support existing and create new formal and informal networks of food safety professionals.

Recent training events have covered the following issues:

  • The WTO SPS and TBT Agreements and their implications for international food trade
  • Improving participation in the work of the Codex Alimentarius Commission
  • Understanding risk analysis (risk assessment, risk management, risk communication)
  • Government support to industry food safety and quality programmes
  • Selected aspects of food control programmes
  • Harmonisation of food quality and safety standards and other food control measures
  • The quality and safety of street foods
