GFSP Overview Accra, 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 Partnership Breaking New Ground Formally established December 2012 at the first GFSP stakeholder conference in Paris Builds on earlier collaboration 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 GFSP Secretariat Multi Donor Trust Fund for: Industry National Governments International Organizations Universities NGOs Other Stakeholders Service Providers Contributions Other inputs Advisory Working Groups Donor Advisory Council Preparing for the future 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) Organization & Management

Initial contributions US$ 1 m Program design and pilots World Bank US$ 1.2m Advisory Working Groups Multi-Donor Trust Fund US$ m (pending) Global scaling up 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 Coordinated Approach for Greater Impact Separate Independent (variably linked) actions Collective and Cohesive Approach (More Collaboration, Coordination, Communication, Connection)

GFSP 1 st Current Work Plan GFSP Secretariat reviewed Roadmap and 5-Year Plan and revised 1 st Year Plan for mid-2013 to mid 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 #2 Global Scaling up Country Capacity Building Needs Assessments  East Asia  South Asia  Latin America  East Europe & Central Asia  Africa  Middle East  “Responsive activities” #3 Program Facilitation Learning Platform Open Education Resources Curriculum Development Food Safety Technical Monitoring and Evaluation GFSP Secretariat Communication

Countries are selected using criteria based on each category Country Selection Criteria Country policy environment Potential for scaling up APEC countries 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) 1 st Year Workplan Implementation

Activities already planned for 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)

Agriculture Mycotoxins represent a core challenge within the food safety field NutritionHealth Food Safety 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
