Trade and food safety standards
The programme will undertake a situational analysis of the challenges and opportunities at continental level for the use of digital technologies for food safety and trade facilitation, particularly with regard to the availability of infrastructure, governance and data sharing between food businesses and regulators. It will assess the enabling environment at national level and within the continent’s Regional Economic Communities (RECs) for digital technologies in the domain of food safety and trade. This includes infrastructure for testing (such as laboratory systems), data collection and analysis and data sharing between food businesses and authorities. The programme will facilitate national and regional consultations on the needs and opportunities for digital technologies in the domain of food safety and trade. The consultations will culminate in the establishment of a roadmap for the use of digital solutions and their implementation in selected pilot countries, combined with capacity development. The programme will foster digital technologies at local, national and regional level to facilitate virtual markets and online sales, connecting farmers to consumers, in partnership with brokers, social entrepreneurs and non-governmental organizations.
