About the Project
Within the European Union funded, “Food Safety for Africa” project, to address the food safety challenges through innovative strategies and use cases, the “Africa Food Safety Operators Network” provides the mapping of the food safety ecosystem in Africa, its structure and operators.
The “Africa Food Safety Operators Network” is built upon combined matrix and databases of food safety procedures for both the formal and the informal sector value chains from agriculture production to food processing to distribution, featuring the continental and regional food safety frameworks and initiatives in Africa, the food safety profile of the countries’ partners in this project, together with databases of the food safety regulations and standards agencies, the business-related food organizations, and the certified agrifood companies and food business operators (FBOs).
This program aims at supporting Africa intra-trade and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) within the African Union Food Safety strategy, by providing common African food standards together with the profile of the food safety actors in Africa.
