Book Description
The purpose of this Codex Diagnostic Tool is to provide a framework for countries to carry out a self-assessment of the current status of the national Codex programme. The Tool outlines the main elements, sub-elements, and best practices that need to be in place in any national Codex programme and through the process of self-assessment, countries can assess the collective capacity of the programme made up of individuals, processes and institutions. This includes assessing the capacity to effecti vely plan and participate in Codex sessions, to contribute scientific and technical input, to use Codex texts as a basis for national regulation and standards as appropriate, and to ensure Codex related activities and management of the programme are integral parts of the food safety control system. Using the results of the self-assessment countries identify areas in need of strengthening and capacity development, and can ensure the national Codex programme is fit for purpose, addresses nationa l interests and priorities and is adaptive to change and evolving needs. The results of the assessment can be used to inform ongoing national workplans and/or form the basis of a request for technical assistance if external support is required to improve national capacities. One potential source of external support is the FAO/WHO Codex Trust Fund (CTF2).

Food control system assessment tool: Introduction and glossary
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251316309
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
The main objective of the tool is to propose a harmonized, objective and consensual basis to analyse the performance of a national food control system. It is intended to be used by countries as a supporting basis for self-assessment to identify priority areas of improvement and plan sequential and coordinated activities to reach expected outcomes, and by repeating the assessment on a regular basis, countries can monitor their progresses. The Tool is based on Codex principles and Guidelines for National Food Control Systems as well as other relevant Codex guidance for food control systems, which are referenced throughout the document. Its scope is given by the dual objectives quoted in Codex guidance for these systems: protect health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade. This introductory volume presents the FAO/WHO Food Control System Assessment Tool, providing background to its development and outlining its main scope and objectives. It presents a thorough review of the assessment Tool structure, breaking it down into its constitutive elements (dimensions, sub-dimensions, competencies and assessment criteria). Finally, it gives an overview of the assessment approach, from the ratings to the descriptive analysis supporting the allocation of scores. The volume also contains a glossary of useful terms and the list of Codex documents referenced in the Tool.

Book Description
At Seventy-third World Health Assembly, WHO was tasked by Member States to update the WHO Global Strategy for Food Safety under the resolution WHA73.5, ‘‘Strengthening efforts on food safety’’. To advance this work, WHO convened the first Technical Advisory Group (TAG) meeting on the update of WHO Global Strategy for Food Safety from 8 to 10 February 2021. The meeting was attended by WHO Multisectoral Actions in Food Systems (AFS) headquarters staff, WHO regional advisors for food safety, 24 TAG members, and staff from the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as observers. The overall objective of the first TAG meeting was to collect experts’ advice on the consultation paper developed for discussion on this meeting and the update process of the WHO Global Strategy for Food Safety. This meeting generally agreed on the role of food safety in the global development agenda, the drivers of change for the future of food safety, the aim and the vision, and the proposed five strategic priorities. The meeting highlighted the need to foster global and regional cooperation. While recognizing the strategy should be Member State oriented, it was agreed to enhance WHO’s leadership and give more visibility to WHO’s role in supporting Member States to strengthen food safety and lower the burden of foodborne disease.
