Why This Training Matters
Food safety is not a matter of chance—it’s a matter of control. The HACCP system (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) provides a preventive, science-based framework to identify, evaluate, and control food safety hazards across the entire food chain.
For African countries, mastering HACCP is more than a technical requirement—it’s a strategic enabler of regional and international trade. Under the AfCFTA, harmonized food safety systems are essential to unlock market access, build consumer trust, and reduce trade barriers between member states. HACCP-aligned practices help producers meet Codex standards, comply with import requirements, and demonstrate due diligence in food safety management.
This training empowers national experts, regulators, and industry leaders to:
- Implement HACCP effectively across diverse food sectors
- Align with Codex and international benchmarks
- Strengthen national food control systems
- Facilitate safe trade under AfCFTA and beyond
- Build confidence among trading partners and consumers
By investing in HACCP capacity, countries position themselves to leverage food safety as a driver of economic growth, regional integration, and global competitiveness.
