Food Safety in Africa: Past Endeavors and Future Directions

The Global Food Safety Partnership's (GFSP) Food Safety in Africa provides access to descriptive information on 518 food safety investments in sub-Saharan Africa between 2010 and early 2017. It may be used to identify and cross-reference these projects, perform country-, sector-, or donor-specific analysis, and plan future interventions. The dataset includes basic information, such as the project title, donor, name and type of implementing organization, countries where work was implemented, years underway, and budgets (overall and food-safety specific). It also classifies the primary project purpose and market focus, and lists any known partnerships. The types of project activities, hazards targeted, and commodities/value chains addressed are catalogued based on publicly available documents. Food Safety in Africa was created in support of the 2019 GFSP report, Food Safety in Africa: Past Endeavors and Future Directions. It does not contain evaluative information on the performance of specific projects or donors.
