## What the grant funds

USDA/FAS is requesting the design and delivery of a training program on U.S. Food Safety regulations and standards for 9 Armenian mid- to senior-level officials from the public and private sector. Participants are expected to include: (2) association/local NGO staff, (4) government officials, (1) researcher from an agricultural university, and (2) private sector/agribusiness company representatives. The participants will be recruited and selected by USDA/FAS, which will be completed after the close of this Notice of Funding Opportunity. The training program is envisioned as being 1-2 consecutive weeks in duration. The host institution shall propose the place(s) of performance within the United States. The goal of the program is to provide a comprehensive understanding of U.S. food safety regulations and standards, equipping the Armenian participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement and comply with these regulations effectively, to strengthen bilateral trade with the United States, and reduce trade barriers for U.S. agricultural commodities and products. The program will provide the participants with an in-depth understanding of the U.S. regulatory system and internationally recognized, science-based food safety measures that facilitate international trade and benefit U.S. agricultural exports. The objective is to improve the participants’ understanding of the U.S. food safety and regulatory systems and harmonize their food safety regulatory systems with evidence-based international standards, ultimately contributing to increased exports of U.S. agricultural commodities and products. Field visits to food processing sites and laboratories are encouraged to highlight how producers learn, implement, and comply with food safety regulations. Additional meetings with U.S. producer cooperatives, associations, and companies are also encouraged to demonstrate how private sector and the government work in partnership. The program design shall include a thorough understanding of U.S. Food Safety regulations and standards, including: 1. Understanding U.S. Food Safety Regulations i. Standards (Codex, SPS regulations, ISO 17025) ii. Traceability requirements, including the importance of traceability in the food supply chain and requirements for record-keeping. iii. Risk-based assessments, risk analysis/management, including techniques for assessing and managing risks associated with food safety. iv. U.S.
