The Africa Food Safety Operators Database Network is a digital platform launched in December 2025 by AUDA-NEPAD and the EU’s FS4Africa project to map food safety actors and regulations across Africa.
Piloted in Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, it provides a structured database of the FBOs, food business operators with food safety certifications, regulations authorities, standard agencies and service providers.
Bridging the gap between public authorities and private sector food operators by offering a centralized platform across the African countries , the ‘FoodSafety4Africa.Network’ contributes to the AfCFTA, African Continental Free Trade Area to support intra-African trade in the agri-food sector and address the informal sector.
