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
