Since the start of the operationalization of the Regional Food Reserve in 2015 through the food security storage support project, the Reserve Management Technical Unit has been working hard to facilitate the establishment of governance bodies and other management instruments of the Reserve, including the Management Committee and the Manual of procedures.

In order to widen this base of consultation, RAAF organized on June 30th, 2017, a consultation workshop on the implementation of the Reserve (ROPPA, APESS, RBM, SONAGESS, etc.) in order to enrich the Manual of procedures under development.

The views expressed by participants during the workshop will be considered by the consultant in the final drafting of the manual of procedures which will be validated during a regional workshop. A ministerial meeting is also planned to deliberate on the Regulation establishing the Regional Reserve Management Committee.
