Ethiopia: Africa Contemplates Establishing Continental Food Safety Body

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Over the past several years, the African Union Commission (AUC) has explored the possibility of setting up a food safety body to help address many of the systemic food safety challenges across Africa. This envisioned entity has been dubbed the African Union Food Safety Management Coordination Mechanism (AU-FSMCM). While agreed to in principle, the standing up of the AUFSMCM is expected to require further deliberations and agreement within the AUC and Member States about its proposed roles, operational structure, etc. This deliberation and approval process could take a couple years to finalize.
