BookletCorporate general interestEast Africa Resilience Strategy 2018–2022. Programme of Work 2020–2021 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Programme of Work 2020–2021 is the second module of the Eastern Africa Resilience Strategy 2018–2022, and the two should therefore be read in conjunction. The main features of the new Programme of Work were presented and discussed with resource partners in Nairobi in December 2019. Since December 2019, the region has been devastated by the Desert Locust, while the full-scale effects of COVID-19 pandemic and the associated containment measures are unfolding as the pandemic spreads. It is eroding the resilience capacity of vulnerable groups including small-scale farmers, herders, fishers and forest-dependent communities and workers in urban areas. While the strategic objective, outcomes and outputs remain unchanged, the new Programme of Work’s activities reflect global evolutions in the humanitarian-development ecosystem, recent and emerging regional threats and risks, particularly Desert Locust and COVID-19, and lessons learned during the past two years. -

The 9th meeting of the Global Microbial Identifier (GMI9)
2016Also available in:
No results found.The 9th meeting of Global Microbial Identifier (GMI), which was preceded by a Technical Meeting on the impact of Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) for food safety management: within a One Health framework, was held at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Rome, Italy on 23- 25 May 2016. The Meeting was attended by 175 participants from 50 countries including 26 developing countries, highlighting the significant level of interest in the topic by many e xperts and government officials.

Mulitsectoral collaboration, particularly in relation to sharing of data generated by this technology the technology is critical to optimizing its use. Key messages from the Technical Meeting are reported including the benefits and potential drawbacks of WGS, considerations for developing countries, issues around global data-sharing and key needs for global ac tions and potential roles of international organizations like FAO. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookWorldwide regulations for mycotoxins in food and feed in 2003 2004Since the discovery of the aflatoxins in the 1960s, regulations have been established in many countries to protect consumers from the harmful effects of mycotoxins that may contaminate foodstuffs, as well as to ensure fair practices in food trade. Various factors play a role in decision-making processes focused on setting limits for mycotoxins. The last comprehensive overview on worldwide regulations was published as the FAO Food and Nutrition Paper 64 in 1997. At that time, 77 countries had specific regulations for mycotoxins in different foods and feeds and 13 countries had general provisions, while about 50 countries did not have data available. The number of countries with specific regulations for mycotoxins has increased over the years. This reflects the general concern that governments have about the potential effects of mycotoxins on humans and animal health and their implications for trade. The present publication updates the information in the FAO Food and Nutrition Pa per 64 and describes the situation of worldwide mycotoxin regulations as of December 2003, based on an international inquiry that was carried out in 2002 and 2003.
