AU-IAPSC Director Dr Jean Gérard Mezui M’ella briefing members of the media from the Cameroon Radio Television (CRTV), on the measures being taken by African Union (#AU) through the Department of Rural Economy and Agriculture (DREA), to prepare the continent for the aftermath of COVID-19, particularly in the area of plant health.
He said since the pandemic is already raising food insecurity fears in Africa, #IAPSC through #DREA, is working towards implementing strategies that will among other measures, facilitate farmer’s access to Phytosanitary products.
African Union, through Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (#AfricaCDC), is currently supporting all the African Member States, to manage the impact of #COVID-19.
AU is also already working with Member States to ensure that small-scale farmers recover from the negative impacts of COVID-19 through continuous support to increase food production.
