To evaluate the regulatory and policy landscape for food safety in Nigeria, EatSafe reviewed existing food safety policy documents and laws from the national to regional levels. EatSafe identified the institutional landscape and gaps in national food safety policy and its implementation strategy, then provides recommendations for strengthening implementation. EatSafe then analyzed the extent to which laws meet or fail to meet current needs and included recommendations to enable a more efficient food safety system in Nigeria for improved public health and enhanced trade in food commodities. Lastly, the report summarizes a stakeholder mapping exercise that characterized stakeholders into four categories based on their influence and interest in food safety.
