This ability to advance the objectives of this cooperative agreement through Member Country engagement and leveraging is a requisite for success.

What the grant funds

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing its intention to receive and consider a single source application for award of a cooperative agreement in fiscal year 2023 (FY23) to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to support global strategies that address food safety and public health. The purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to: 1. Contribute to the knowledge base of and development of food safety systems globally due to the increasingly diverse and complex food supply. 2. Enhance and broaden FDA’s ability to address global food safety and public health issues associated with food. 3. Provide opportunities to leverage additional resources of other countries. 4. Support implementation of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and FDA's International Food Safety Capacity Building Plan, which emphasizes the concept of preventing food safety-related problems before they occur and the importance of establishing strong relationships and mutual support among all stakeholders, including multilateral organizations, to improve worldwide food safety. 5. Support food safety, nutrition and public health programs that align with FDA’s mission.
