3 Highlights from SC Members on Related Meetings and Activities, Feb Aug 2015 As is customary, SC members shared highlights from their activities on aflatoxins and related areas. Many SC member activities are synergistic with PACA Secretariat activities, as evidenced by the highlights shared: Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) convened a one-day stakeholder consultative meeting on the Formation of Innovation Platforms for Aflatoxin Management in Ghana on 17th June The meeting was attended by about 45 participants representing various stakeholders in the Ghanaian agricultural and trade sectors, including the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, farmer-based organizations, researchers, agribusiness, and development partners. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is financing a study on the impacts on aflatoxins on stunting. Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) gave an overview of a project for proficiency testing for aflatoxin. Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has been supporting its member states on a range of relevant activities, including its engagement in a training workshop on Better Training for Safer Food (BTSF), which in the recent edition focused on aflatoxin as a key food safety challenge and which was conducted with the European Union, preparatory meetings for the CODEX Committee meeting, and development of quality standards for 25 food and agricultural products. African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF) is developing a guidance document on a regulatory framework for biological pesticide registration. International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) is working on many relevant activities, including continued scaling up of AflaSafe in many African countries. Mars, Inc. collaborated with PACA on an event at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, which generated much press coverage. Review and Discussion of Progress on PACA Secretariat Resource Mobilization Efforts The Secretariat has engaged Resource Mobilization experts to support the Secretariat in raising funds for PACA phase II, The consultants are developing a resource mobilization strategy and marketing materials, along with other documents. The SC members appreciated the resource mobilization efforts and directed the consultants to: Identify sub-component activities and target donors to fund specific activities; Work with the material from the Finance breakout group from the Groundnut Value Chain Workshop in order to build on some of the recommendations of the discussions; Explore reaching out to key partners to mobilize immediate bridging funds for the short term while seeking commitments from donors for phase II; Increase efforts to target engagement of key private sector and development partners that are most closely linked to the mission of PACA.

4 SC Membership Ad Hoc Committee Report The Ad Hoc Committee on SC membership, comprised of Consumers International, Pan African Agribusiness & Agroindustry Consortium and African Medical Research Foundation, was established at the Sixth PACA SC meeting to address a membership rotation architecture. PACA s current SC members were appointed and inaugurated on November 1, 2012 and serve terms of three years, with the option of serving two consecutive terms. The SC endorsed the Ad Hoc Committee s recommendation for staggered rotation schedule and the creation of two seats for new members to give the opportunity for new expertise and participation. The SC then made the following recommendations: Invite the East African Community (EAC), that has expressed interest in serving as a PACA SC member, to take the REC seat. Invite the African Society of Mycotoxicology to take the Technical Institution seat. Invite Mars, Inc. and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) to fill the two new seats representing the perspectives of global food manufacturers and nutrition, respectively. Encourage the Secretariat to continue to communicate with past SC members and involve them in important meetings such as the 2016 Partnership Platform Meeting (PPM). Outgoing members expressed their pleasure serving on the SC for PACA advancing this important cause and assured that they will continue to work with the PACA Secretariat and SC going forward. The AUC thanked them for their support and expressed that PACA greatly values the ongoing partnership with their organizations. PACA s new Steering Committee members will be inaugurated for a three-year term, beginning in November Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Ad Hoc Committee report The M&E Ad Hoc Committee was formed at the Sixth PACA SC meeting and tasked with reviewing the PACA Secretariat M&E framework and the theory of change. The ad hoc committee presented a revised PACA Theory of Change and Pathways of Change, and recommended that the M&E Framework be finalized once a set of headline indictors are agreed upon (taking in to account PACA Phase II). The SC endorsed the ad hoc committee report and made several suggestions, including: Specific suggestions for further improvement of the Theory and Pathways of Change. This can be used as part of the resource mobilization efforts. The Secretariat should finalize the M&E Framework for review and approval by the SC, and should undertake the baseline study accordingly.

The SC suggested several revisions to the Concept Note, including the following: Reduce the number of presentations to allow for more interactive sessions. Include consideration of the Malabo Declaration in the objectives and outcomes. Consider the budget vis-à-vis the timeline for resource availability to effectively organize the meeting. African Health Forum on Aflatoxins, March 2016 The Secretariat presented the Concept Note on the African Health Forum Focusing on Aflatoxins, which is tentatively scheduled for March A task force has been formed and has been working on the workshop preparation.

Consider minimizing the number of presentations for the meeting or add an additional day to give more time for the presentations. Shorten the length of the Concept Note before further circulation.
