The project will fulfil the main objective through three components:
1) Establishing the institutional arrangements and promoting stakeholders awareness to
allow the State Service on Food Safety and Consumer Protection to design, coordinate and
supervise the application of an integrated food safety control system based on the use of
innovative epidemiological methodologies (e.g. risk assessment, value chain analysis and
economic analysis);
2) Increasing the technical knowledge of and providing modern tools for implementation of an
efficient risk-based food safety inspection system (e.g. guidelines for inspection, risk based
surveillance protocols, exchange information platform, laboratory services) to the State
Service on Food Safety and Consumer Protection;
3) Enabling the private industry (in particular milk processors, farmers and milk transporters)
to produce safe and good quality milk and milk products for consumers in Ukraine and abroad
through targeted awareness and capacity building actions.
