    Empowering women and boosting livelihoods through agricultural trade: Leveraging the AfCFTA
    A joint initiative between FAO and the International Trade Centre
    2023
    Also available in:
    The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement is a powerful programme which promises to boost the livelihoods of African people. However, if gender equality is not a central component of its implementation, the agreement may worsen the gender gap and exacerbate the challenges faced by women producers, processors and traders due to the existing inequalities that disadvantage them. It is vital that the AfCFTA agreement roll-out ensures that trade policies, practices and regulations are gender-responsive and create the conditions for African women and girls to benefit. We must enable women to seize the new opportunities created by the AfCFTA in the agrifood sector and empower them to be economic actors and agents of change.

    Codex Alimentarius Commission Procedural Manual
    Thirtieth edition
    2025
    Also available in:
    The Procedural Manual of the Codex Alimentarius Commission helps national delegations and international organizations attending as observers, participate effectively in the work of the Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme. It sets out the basic rules of procedure, procedures for the elaboration of Codex standards and related texts, and basic definitions and guidelines for the operation of Codex committees. It also gives the membership of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The 30th edition of the Codex Procedural Manual continues to work towards a harmonization of language, particularly around synonymous terminology, thus setting precedent for Codex’s other written materials. Specifically, this latest edition contains three changes to "Section 4.6: Risk analysis principles applied by the Codex Committee on Residues of Veterinary Drugs in Foods", 1) a revision of "Annex C: Approach for the extrapolation of maximum residue limits for veterinary drugs to one or more species"; 2) the inclusion of "Annex D: Criteria and procedures for the establishment of action levels for residues of veterinary drugs in food of animal origin resulting from unavoidable and unintentional veterinary drug carryover in non-target animal feed"; and 3) a consequential amendment to paragraph 133, Establishment of priority list. In "Section 5.1: Table of committees, document references and terms of reference", following the decision by the Commission to reactivate the Codex Committee on Cereals, Pulses and Legumes, this committee was moved from “commodity committees (adjourned sine die)” to “commodity committees (active)”. Finally, editorial changes have been made to more consistently apply abbreviations and provide more accurate cross-referencing by numbering subsections.
