Synopsis (short abstract) This strategy directly contributes to the State of Palestine’s approach to integrate in global market systems through focusing on the adaptation of national monitoring and food safety systems with the requirements to join various relevant international conventions, treaties and organisations. Additionally, it emphasises the commitment of the State of Palestine to build a comprehensive system - based on optimal international standards, as well as scientific procedures and rules to monitor and ensure food safety. This strategy is also connected the Palestinian Development Plan 2017-2022 which is reflected in the National Policy Agenda in various sectorial and cross-sectorial strategies. Specifically, it is aligned with the 2017-2022 sectorial strategies for agriculture, national economy, health and education, as well as the strategy of the Palestinian Standards Institute such that it complements some of the programmes and activities of those strategies and contributes to the achievement of their goals.

    FAO Strategic Priorities for Food Safety within the FAO Strategic Framework 2022-2031 2023
    Also available in:
    Elaborated at the request of the 27th Session of the Committee on Agriculture, the FAO Strategic Priorities for Food Safety within the FAO Strategic Framework 2022-31 were endorsed by the FAO Council in December 2022. These Strategic Priorities are articulated around four interconnected Strategic Outcomes focused on governance, scientific advice, strengthening national food control systems and fostering public–private partnerships along the food chain. They result from an iterative consultative process led by FAO with its Members and international partner organizations, including, notably WHO. The FAO Strategic Priorities for Food Safety 2022–2031 encourage a more consistent integration of food safety into the development of sustainable and inclusive agrifood systems, food security and nutrition policies, and agriculture development strategies. FAO expects the Strategic Priorities for Food Safety to act as an instrument that will spur investments to strengthen food safety, to enhance effective participation in food safety standards-setting and to secure adequate human and financial resources for FAO to successfully implement its food safety programme and to provide international guidance, policy and advocacy for policymakers.
