GFSP OverviewAccra, November 2013

The Global Food Safety Partnership

- Reduce risks to consumers and businesses- Improve skills, efficiencies and public health - Create economic opportunity

Global Food Safety PartnershipBreaking New Ground

Formally established December 2012 at the first GFSP stakeholder conference in Paris

Builds on earlier collaboration 2009-2011 with APEC FSCF PTIN

First partnership supported by the World Bank combining public and private money with public and private implementation

5-year initial capacity building work plan with defined activities

In parallel, use the experience to learn and develop a new cooperation model for future collaboration

Dual Approach

Harmonization of Training

Improving Outcomes from Training

Ensuring Best Practices for Monitoring and Evaluation

Cross-sector Coordination & Collaboration

Developing a Common Baseline for Training Standards

Operational Structure

- Implemented by contracted service providers, themselves often stakeholders as well

- Use of Advisory Working Groups (WGs)- IT/Learning Systems - Food Safety Technical- Communication- Monitoring and Evaluation- Governance (to be formed in 2014 to shape GFSP governance after initial

5-year period)- Combined WG co-chairs meetings- Donor’s Advisory Council - Secretariat (hosted at World Bank)

Financing Sources

Donor’s Advisory Council

• GFSP Secretariat will convene a Donor’s Advisory Council (DAC) to provide an additional mechanism for direct consultation and advice on the Partnership. The DAC has been established to advise on:– High level stakeholder engagement

– Fund raising

– Inputs to the Secretariat regarding funding priorities (topics, countries, sectors)

– Emerging issues

• The DAC will meet in the week of 9-13 December 2013 at the 2nd GFSP Conference to be held in Singapore.

GFSP Support

GFSP 1st Current Work Plan

• GFSP Secretariat reviewed Roadmap and 5-Year Plan and revised 1st Year Plan for mid-2013 to mid-2014.

• The Roadmap describes three pillars of engagement by the GFSP:

• Training Program Implementation• Global and Regional Scaling up• Program Facilitation

#1 Training Program

APEC/FSCF+

Supply chain management

Incident management

Laboratory competency

Risk analysis

Food safety regulatory system

On-farm quality assurance

#2Global Scaling up

CountryCapacity Building

Needs Assessments

- East Asia- South Asia- Latin America- East Europe

& Central Asia

- Africa- Middle East- “Responsive

Public-Private commitment

Partner priorities and cost sharing

• Phased implementation based on available funding

• Currently about US$2M available in multi-donor trust fund

• Enough to implement 40% of Year 1 workplan (total budget: US$5M)

1st Year Workplan Implementation

Activities already planned for 2013-2014

GFSP activities recently completed, underway, or planned for implementation during 2013 and Q1,2 of 2014

– Supply Chain Management (SCM) – On-farm Quality Assurance and GAP– Food Safety Incident Management – Laboratory Competency – Risk Analysis - Risk Assessment – Food Safety Regulatory Systems

..but what about taking a risk-based

approach?Pros• Consistent with best practices in

food safety• Focuses attention• May garner more poltical,

technical, financial support• Interests public, private, civil

society all at once• Facilitates testing and tweaking

of GFSP collaborative model • May be more doable in medium

term• May have positive spinoffs for

broader food safety system

Cons• Requires picking a “winner”

among many real risks that compete for attention and resources

• Will not solve many other real problems

• Externalities not proven for food safety (although there is evidence for avian/human influenza and HIV/AID)

Pilots under consideration

• Food Safety in Aquacultural Supply Chains


• Food Safety in Aquacultural Supply Chains• Food Safety for the Dairy Industry


• Food Safety in Aquacultural Supply Chains• Food Safety for the Dairy Industry• Pathways for Global Mycotoxin Preventioon

and Control

Agriculture

Mycotoxins represent a core challenge within the food safety field

Mycotoxins

Why mycotoxins?

Why start with aflatoxins?

• They matter greatly to agriculture, health and nutrition• They simultaneously affect poverty/hunger, productivity,

commerce/trade, and economic growth• The challenge straddles the developed, emerging, and

developing economies• It is a global problem, growing in scope• The science is advancing rapidly • Awareness is also rising• They require a concerted effort backed

by significantly more resources

GFSP can add value!

Opportunities and issues relating PACA

• How to coordinate approaches and programs while avoiding duplication



• How to leverage and multiply respective resources




• What is the best division of roles and responsibilities going forward




• What is the best division of roles and responsibilities going forward

• How to achieve a win-win situation
