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 healthby focusing efforts on the prevention of potential food safetyand agricultural health threats at all stages of the supply chainincluding 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 publichealth.
Strengthen surveillance and diagnostic capacity in allcountries 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 facilitiesto 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.

Strengthening Quality Management, Capabilities and Infrastructure in Lebanon (QUALEB )
Project No. EuropeAid/117725/D/SV/LB
Testing and Testing Labs
Market and needs survey for testing services, including analysis of international rejections of Lebanese products leading to priorities for specific test areas/types
Inventory of existing labs, and development of investment guides, create experience exchange network, and application for investment support on the basis of lab investment plans
Selection and signing agreement with labs
Management assistance to (international) lab accreditation
Provision of equipment to labs (international tendering)
Some definitions to start with.. 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 less-expensive 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…
