Descripción
This report synthesizes key findings, strategic priorities, and capacity-building needs identified through national Food Control System (FCS) assessments and strategic action plans developed by ten countries participating in the project GCP/GLO/949/EC, "Strengthening Food Control and Phytosanitary Capacities and Governance." It highlights common strengths and challenges across countries, as well as variations in national strategies, offering a regional perspective on priority areas for strengthening FCSs.The report aligns national-level actions with the strategic objectives of the African Union, illustrating how country-specific efforts contribute to broader continental goals in food safety and trade facilitation. It supports the FAO Strategic Framework by promoting better production, nutrition, environment, and life through safer and more effective food systems.Targeted at policymakers, regulatory authorities, regional bodies, and development partners, the report provides a foundation for harmonized capacity-building and regional collaboration. It identifies cross-cutting trends and shared priorities, helping guide evidence-based policymaking and coordinated technical support.By facilitating knowledge sharing and informed planning, this report aims to strengthen regional cooperation, enhance the visibility of FAO and its partners, and support the development of tailored capacity-building initiatives. Ultimately, it contributes to a more unified, resilient, and effective approach to food control across the region.
