 Developing the capacities of member countries to effectively manage food safety and quality is key to safeguarding the health and well-being of people as well as to supporting economic development by promoting access to domestic, regional and international markets.

What is Capacity Development for Food Safety and Quality?

Capacity Development for Food Safety and Quality is the process through which relevant stakeholders from farm to table (including government agencies, food enterprises, academia and consumers) are able to better perform their functions and to assume their responsibilities in ensuring safety and quality of food for domestic consumption and export.

How to ensure sustainability in capacity development?

Effective and sustainable capacity development in food safety and quality must be driven by national policies and programmes. Design of activities must be guided by careful and participative needs assessment that takes full consideration of countries’ priorities and needs as well as of existing national and local capacities and institutions.
