Dear AFSTA members,
We appreciate your active participation in the just concluded webinar on Plant Health Strategy for Africa. Please note that the presentations projected during the webinar shall be shared in due course.
As an immediate next step, the African Seed Trade Association, the African Union Inter-African Phytosanitary Council (AU IAPSC) as well as the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) Secretariat have agreed to continue this collaboration at the continental level to support the implementation of these harmonized regulations eliminating trade barriers.
Hopefully this webinar was not only insightful but also beneficial in shedding light on the instruments put in place in Africa to facilitate movement of seeds, the most recent one being the Plant Health Strategy for Africa. One of the points that kept recurring during the active discussion was HARMONIZATION. As such, we are delighted to announce that we will continue this discussion next week, 3rd December 2024 between 12h00 – 15h00 (EAT)where we will further engage the African Union and Member States on their role and commitment in implementing these regional/ continental harmonized policies and regulations. Save the date for this important discussion!
Please note that the upcoming webinar, co-organized by AFSTA and the Africa Seed Systems Platform, will be held with simultaneous translations in FR and EN.
