1. GFSP Overview Accra, November 2013

2. The Global Food Safety Partnership • Reduce risks to consumers and businesses • Improve skills, efficiencies and public health • Create economic opportunity

3. 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

4. Dual Approach 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

5. Operational Structure Advisory Working Groups Donor Advisory Council Industry • 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 National Governments Contributions International Organizations GFSP Secretariat Universities Other inputs NGOs Multi Donor Trust Fund for: Other Stakeholders Service Providers Preparing for the future

6. Organization & Management • 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)

7. Financing Sources

8. 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.

11. Advisory Process Feedback on current work program Issues and Opportunities Advisory Working Groups Advice sought Advice Provided GFSP Secretariat Stakeholder feedback on GFSP progress and issues • Decisions on: • Projects • Activities • Funding

12. GFSP Coordinated Approach for Greater Impact Collective and Cohesive Approach (More Collaboration, Coordination, Communication, Connection) Separate Independent (variably linked) actions GFSP Support

13. GFSP 1st Current Work Plan • GFSP Secretariat reviewed Roadmap and 5-Year Plan and revised 1stYear 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

14. #1 • Training Program APEC/FSCF+ • #2 • Global Scaling up • #3 • Program Facilitation • Supply chain management Country Capacity Building Needs Assessments • Learning Platform • Open Education Resources • Curriculum Development • Incident management • East Asia • South Asia • Latin America • East Europe & Central Asia • Africa • Middle East • “Responsive activities” • Food Safety Technical Laboratory competency • Communication • Risk analysis • Monitoring and Evaluation Food safety regulatory system GFSP Secretariat • On-farm quality assurance

15. Country Selection Criteria • Country policy environment Potential for scaling up • Partner priorities and cost sharing Countries are selected using criteria based on each category Public-Private commitment • APEC countries

16. 1st Year Workplan Implementation • 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)

17. 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

18. ..but what about taking a risk-based approach? Pros 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) • 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

19. Pilots under consideration • Food Safety in Aquacultural Supply Chains

20. Pilots under consideration • Food Safety in Aquacultural Supply Chains • Food Safety for the Dairy Industry

21. Pilots under consideration • Food Safety in Aquacultural Supply Chains • Food Safety for the Dairy Industry • Pathways for Global MycotoxinPreventioon and Control

22. Why mycotoxins? Mycotoxins represent a core challenge within the food safety field Agriculture Food Safety Health Nutrition Mycotoxins

23. 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
