FS4Africa presentation - WFSD Webinar.pdf

In Africa, about 70 percent of the population relies on domestic informal food markets for their daily sustenance. This highlights the urgent need to address food safety issues within this sector to protect public health and foster sustainable development.
Recognising this pressing need, the Africa Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD) and the African Union Commission’s Partnership for Aflatoxin Control in Africa (PACA), in collaboration with the Food Safety for Africa (FS4Africa) and UP-RISE projects funded by the European Union, organised a timely and crucial webinar titled “Bridging Gaps in the Informal Sector” on 27 June 2024.

The webinar, which coincides with World Food Safety Day 2024 and its theme “Prepare for the Unexpected,” serves as a platform to raise awareness, facilitate knowledge-sharing, and foster collaborations among various stakeholders.

The primary objectives of the webinar are multifaceted. It aims to highlight the importance of food safety in Africa’s informal food sector and the role of the FS4Africa and UP-RISE projects in developing co-created solutions. Additionally, the webinar seeks to disseminate effective strategies and interventions, establishing networks to support the informal sector in improving food safety practices.
