Project Description

This is a $2 million food safety advisory services program under the IFC Food Safety Advisory Platform that aims to reduce food safety risks for IFC private sector clients operating in Africa along the agribusiness value chain, while contributing to industry sector capacity in select markets. 

By the end of the project, IFC aims to achieve this through two measurable objectives:

Objective 1: Use food safety advisory as a lever to improve the performance and efficiency of select investment clients in Africa by: a) increasing sales; b) reducing costs; and/or c) reducing their risk profile. 

Objective 2: Build capacity across strategic sectors in the region by: a) raising awareness on the benefits of better food safety management among key industry stakeholders; and b) training/verifying consultants to develop a cadre of experts who can support industry clients in the future.
