Project Components
The project has three components as follows:
(i) Infrastructure Development for Prevention of pre and post-harvest contamination.
(ii) Awareness Creation and Institutional Strengthening.
(iii) Project Coordination and Management.
The main technologies proposed include interventions during primary production, including continuing bio-control trials; post-harvest technologies and handling practices including drying and hermetic storage technologies; and construction of storage facilities; institutional strengtheningcoordination; and awareness raising among critical stakeholders. Private sector participation is considered essential to ensure the up-scaling and commercializationof proposed technologies and the long-term sustainability of project interventions.

Under this component public awareness and education on the subject of food safety, nutrition and aflatoxin mitigation will form key interventions for the overall improvement of public health and safety. The private sector’s role in monitoring and quality control at all segments of the value chains will be important. The project will aim to establish partnerships with commercial buyers to support advocacy and dissemination of technology in both mainland and Zanzibar. |
