“The overall objective of the EDES training is
noble and I am looking forward to continuous
improvement of my training skills and implementation
of the entire programme in Food
Safety. The training is very effective and the
methods quiet effective. The main aspect of
public-private partnerships in implementing official
controls was well articulated in this session
thanks to the trainers. Thank you for this wonderful
opportunity”.

I can safely say that we achieved our objectives
and as we hoped, this training was well received
by the staff and its implementation should be
fairly easy to carry out.
Furthermore, these trainees have gained enough
knowledge and hands-on skills to be able to
train the other staff in the coming months.
I thank you all at PIP/COLEACP for your support
and timely actions in the delivery of this
training.
