Capacity Building guide
Capacity is the essential lubricant of development, more important even
than finance. One weakness of capacity within a multi-stakeholder
project will often condemn the whole to failure.
The UN Development Programme has defined "capacity" as
"the ability of individuals, institutions and societies to
perform functions, solve problems, and set and achieve
objectives in a sustainable manner".
The terms "capacity building" or "capacity development" describe the
task of developing levels of human and institutional capacity.
“…capacity
building remains one of the most
challenging functions of development.”

3-IFPRI Agriculture Food Safety and Food Born
Diseases focus13 0506
To improve the ability of farmers in developing countries to
reduce the burden of food borne illness, government agencies
need to take the following steps:
Implement a farm-to-table approach to agricultural health
by focusing efforts on the prevention of potential food safety
and agricultural health threats at all stages of the supply chain
including production, processing, marketing, and retailing.
Raise awareness among decision makers, public servants,
producers, traders, and consumers about the potential sources
of food safety problems and ways to protect against such
problems.
Encourage a multi-stakeholder approach to improving public
health.
Strengthen surveillance and diagnostic capacity in all
countries to improve measurement of prevalence and
detection of outbreaks.
Strengthen risk analysis capacity to help decision makers in all
countries to set strategies and priorities, to consider the many
needs of the supply chain, and to increase their focus on the
pre-harvest stage.
MEFOSA 2006
Switch from command-control policies to
performance based standards to meet national and
international food safety goals. Command-control
policies are often less flexible and have higher fixed
costs…
Improve infrastructure and access to cold storage
facilities
to ensure the delivery of highly perishable foods to
distant markets.
Support efforts to improve supply chain
management to improve food safety along the whole
supply chain.

MEFOSA’s VISION
Middle East North Africa Food
Safety Associates s.a.r.l believes that
trading in safe food and feed are a
prerequisite for sustainable
development, and that Arab societies
should develop their own food safety
prerequisites in full recognition with
their socio-economic priorities, and
in harmony with international
standards and norms, while
respecting the culture, family values
and quality of life throughout the
MENA region.

Laboratory forecast for 2009Neil H. Mermelstein, Editor Emeritus, Food Technology

Research during 2009 will continue to be conducted on new products and analytical methods for use in
the laboratory, processing plant, and field. Instrumentation companies and university and government
laboratories will continue to develop improved methods and instruments for analysis of

foods, ranging from compositional analysis to quality control applications. Among the
developments will be advances in instrumental methods—whether gas chromatography,
mass spectrometry, olfactometry, infrared spectrometry, or others—as well as increased
sensitivity and reproducibility, portable/miniaturized versions for field use, and lessexpensive instruments providing comparable results.
Companies will continue to develop test kits that can be used for quality control in the plant
and in the field, such as test kits for bacteria and allergens. They will continue to
improve equipment for determining viscosity and methods for determining the effects of
ingredients on product viscosity and texture. There will also be improved sample preparation
techniques and systems, improved reporting systems, better systems for traceability, continued
development and validation of analytical methods, and more work on correlating sensory evaluation with
analytical results.... include carbohydrate testing, nutrition software and labeling, texture
and viscosity measurement, trace element analysis, microbiological testing, moisture
and water activity determination, and advances in instrumentation.

“it
has always been and will continue to be the responsibility
of a firm’s management to oversee and guarantee the
company’s adherence to food safety standards”*
Management must provide evidence of its commitment to the
development, implementation, and operation of its food safety system.
Specifically, management should:
>Illustrate how food safety is of utmost concern and communicate this throughout the organization.
>Establish a food safety policy for all to see.
>Make certain the firm has the necessary resources to accomplish food safety objectives.
>Establish an approved supplier program.
>Perform periodic reviews of the entire system.
>have an effective communication strategy externally as part of their role in the food chain…
