Project Summary/Abstract In today’s globalized world, food safety capacities need to be strengthened everywhere to enable more rational and effective controls in all countries. The main objective of this project is to contribute to the strengthening of national food control systems through provision of authoritative and practical guidance, training materials and capacity development activities in a number of selected countries. The proposed approach is based on two complementary pillars, each comprised of activities at global, and regional/country levels. Pillar 1 deals with the strengthening of risk-based food controls through increased application of the risk analysis framework with an emphasis on risk assessment as the basis for food safety regulation and on risk-based programming of regulatory activities, in particular, risk-based inspections. Risk-based approaches to food control help minimizing exposure to food hazards, while making more efficient use of the available resources, that may be scarce for many developing or transition countries. To move from reactive towards preventive food control systems, food safety professionals must be enabled to find, generate and utilize relevant data. Newly developed tools, based on proven approaches used in a range of contexts, will be used to guide assessment, option evaluation and strategic improvement of risk-based controls. Under the second Pillar, selected food control systems will be assessed using the recently developed FAO/WHO assessment Tool. Stakeholder participatory advocacy workshops will be conducted to achieve high-level commitment to improving food control while priority capacity building activities will be undertaken according to established targets. By providing support to implement the assessment of national food control systems, this project will identify food safety capacity needs to be strengthened to enable more rational and effective controls in all countries. A pool of assessors will also be created by training food safety specialists in facilitating the food control system assessment process through sound methodologies. All regional/country activities will be carefully designed to confirm preliminary assessments, and secure relevant partnerships with national counterparts and effective planning/implementation of specific activities.

项目总结/摘要 在当今全球化的世界中，需要加强各地的食品安全能力， 使所有国家的管制更加合理和有效。该项目的主要目标是 为加强国家粮食管制系统作出贡献， 权威和实用的指导、培训材料和能力建设活动， 选定国家的数量。 拟议的办法以两个相辅相成的支柱为基础，每个支柱都包括以下活动： 全球和区域/国家一级。支柱1涉及加强基于风险的食品 通过更多地应用以风险为重点的风险分析框架进行控制 评估作为食品安全监管的基础和基于风险的监管规划 活动，特别是基于风险的检查。基于风险的食品控制方法有助于 最大限度地减少接触食品危害，同时更有效地利用现有的 这些资源对许多发展中国家或转型期国家来说可能是稀缺的。离开 对于预防性食品控制系统，食品安全专业人员必须能够 查找、生成和利用相关数据。根据经验证的方法新开发的工具 在一系列情况下使用，将用于指导评估，选择评价和战略 改进基于风险的控制。在第二个支柱下，选定的食品控制系统将 使用最近开发的粮农组织/世卫组织评估工具进行评估。利益相关 将举办参与性宣传讲习班，以实现高级别承诺， 加强粮食控制，同时将根据以下方面开展优先能力建设活动： 既定目标。通过提供支助，对国家粮食管制进行评估， 该项目将确定需要加强的食品安全能力， 在所有国家进行合理有效的控制。还将设立一个评估员库， 培训食品安全专家，以促进食品控制系统评估过程 通过健全的方法。所有区域/国家活动都将经过精心设计， 初步评估，并确保与国家对应方建立相关伙伴关系， 有效规划/实施具体活动。
