Codex Training

The Codex Trust Fund provides support to FAO/WHO Codex training courses at regional and sub-regional levels. The objective of these trainings is to increase the effectiveness of the participation of eligible countries in Codex committees and task forces. Where possible, trainings are organized immediately prior to, or in conjunction with Codex meetings to allow participants to attend these meetings and put their new knowledge and skills into practice.
