From 14 to 15 March 2023, Members of the Management Committee of the ECOWAS Regional Food Security Reserve (RFSR) meet for the second time in Bissau after the first meeting held in December 2019 in Conakry.

This platform will enable ECOWAS to report and inform on the Regional Food Reserve's activities since the December 2019 meeting, the challenges related to the operation and sustainability of this instrument and gather orientations and pieces of advice from Committee Members for the continuation of the RFSR activities, particularly those planned for 2023.

To recall, the mandate of the Management Committee is to manage the operations of the Regional Food Security Reserve. In other words, the Committee decides on purchasing operations, storage sites and interventions, in strict compliance with the rules adopted by the ECOWAS statutory bodies and set out in the Procedures Manual of the Food Reserve.
