AU-IAPSC briefs media on Covid-19 measures

AU-IAPSC Director Dr Jean Gérard Mezui M’ella briefed 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 (Africa CDC), 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.
