Its objective was to enable clear understanding of the status of implementation of antimicrobial resistance activities in African Union Member States. A response rate of 69% (37/54) was achieved. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.au-ibar.org/handle/123456789/1505 African Union Framework for Antimicrobial Resistance Control 2020–2025 African Union African Union Framework for Antimicrobial Resistance Control 2020–2025 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.au-ibar.org/handle/123456789/1410 African Union 2023 Year of Accelerated Implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA): Learning Event to Promote Harmonized SPS Policies and Capacities in Africa African Union; AKADMEMIYA2063; Texas A&M University; AUC-DARBE Key Messages and Call to Action from the Learning Event to Promote Harmonized SPS Policies and Capacities in Africa. The event took place on the 30-31 March 2023 in Kigali, Rwanda to support of the African Union (AU) 2023 year of accelerated African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) implementation and to help contribute to strengthened SPS capacities and the effective implementation of SPS policies and strategies in Africa, 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.au-ibar.org/handle/123456789/1405 Food Safety Strategy for Africa: 2022 - 2036 African Union; African Union (African Union Department of Rural Economy and Agriculture) The Food Safety Strategy of Africa (FSSA) will provide a harmonized framework to implement activities that mitigate various food safety threats that negatively impact consumers’ health. The strategy will help to address non-tariff barriers, particularly those related to Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures or standards that have the potential of slowing down the attainment of the Malabo Declaration aspirations and ultimately the African Union Agenda 2063 and related flagship programmes impacted by food safety. An additional benefit of the strategy will be reduction of duplication of efforts, facilitating synergy leveraging on resources and capabilities, and enhancing lesson learning and best practices. This strategy is developed as a tool for the implementation of the Continental SPS Policy Framework for Africa endorsed by AU policy organs in 2020. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.au-ibar.org/handle/123456789/1404 Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Policy Framework for Africa African Union; African Union (African Union Department of Rural Economy and Agriculture) The Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Policy Framework provides guidance on the implementation of modern SPS systems that are guided by the WTO SPS Agreement across RECs and Member States as necessary and integral to agricultural development and transformation, improved food security, public health, and intra-African and world trade. 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.au-ibar.org/handle/123456789/711 A Laboratory Manual on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Laboratory Tests and Testing procedures for Trade Related Transboundary Animal Diseases The arid and semi-arid lands of the Horn of Africa (HOA) are home to poor and vulnerable populations, the majority of whom rely on livestock to sustain livelihoods. However, the performance of livestock in the region remains low, given the widespread occurrence of transboundary animal diseases (TADs) that are responsible for production losses, and reduced performance of intra- and inter-regional trade in livestock and livestock products. Because of disease outbreaks, live animal exports have been severely constrained during the past two decades, by bans imposed by importing countries to reduce risks associated with these diseases. This manual presents the laboratory SOPS for Brucellosis, Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia, Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), Rift Valley Fever (RVF), African Swine Fever and Newcastle Disease.
