About the project
Since May 2017, a group of experts from WWF, Welthungerhilfe, and the Centre for Development Research (ZEF) worked on the establishment of a Food Security Standard (FSS).
The FSS provided a set of practical and measurable criteria, ensuring the Right to Food. It is not a stand-alone standard but is designed as a best-practice set in conjunction with sustainability certification standards.
SAN understood that the effectiveness of the FSS depended on the correct application and implementation of standards and criteria, as verified through assessments and audits. That is why by developing the auditor training concept, course curriculum, and training materials for the FSS, this project contributed to the correct implementation of the FSS.
SAN developed the training tools and delivered the correspondent training curriculum for auditors to correctly interpret the FSS and evaluate compliance against its requirements.
Outcomes
For this Project, SAN designed a training concept to be used in the future training efforts for the FSS, and the training documents and materials to implement the concept.
SAN also designed a two-day course curriculum for auditor training, according to the main elements of the training concept and materials mentioned above.
