I- Context and justification In order to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade it was founded by the FAO and the World Health Organization in 1963 the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex) of which Benin is a member. Its mission is to develop international food standards. Participation in the various Codex works to defend the country's priorities requires mastery of the tools on electronic and physical working groups. The Codex Alimentarius is a compendium of food standards codes of practice and guidelines and aims to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair trade practices in all processed semi-processed and raw consumer food products. The Codex Alimentarius is composed of: the Commission the Executive Committee the Secretariat and the subsidiary bodies. When adopting or amending a Codex standard consensus is preferred. In Benin the National Committee of the Codex Alimentarius (CNCA) represents the institution. It is governed by Decree No. 2010-638 of 31 December 2010 on the attributions organization and functioning of the CNCA. This committee brings together several ministerial departments agencies or actors interested in the production processing preservation storage distribution standardization control import and export of food products. In Benin the standardization body is called: National Agency for Standardization Metrology and Quality Control (ANM). It is this body that ensures the production of national standards sometimes from the international standards of the Codex Alimentarius. When the standardization project concerns a local product that already has an international standard the standardization committee is inspired by the normative data contained in this international standard. In the absence of contradictory scientific data the codex standard is adopted without modification into a national standard. Some national standards are derived from codex standards with minor or major modifications. How useful are these codex standards for national standardization work? Are these standards adapted to national realities? These are all concerns to judge the relevance of these Codex Alimentarius standards in our national context. This is the purpose of this study to know the use and level of satisfaction of Codex standards in Benin. The purpose of this ToR is then to recruit a service provider experienced in conducting satisfaction surveys.

While much progress has been made since the advent of democracy in 1994 in South Africa unemployment remains high at 32.9% with youth unemployment rate (at 59.6%) higher than the national average. An extreme headcount poverty of 58.6% in 2022 with Gini Inequality Index of 0.63% mean that the current economic landscape represents a formidable challenge for socio-economic development in the country. The recent economic stagnation coupled with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic further undermine the gains made towards Agenda 2030. In 2022 growth softened markedly to 1.9% from 4.9% in 2021 as sharp cost-of-living increases weak external demand and tighter global financial conditions tempered the post-pandemic recovery. The growth slowdown was intensified by electricity shortages flood damages in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and Eastern Cape (EC)and accelerated policy tightening to curb inflation. High and growing inequalities and pervasive poverty undermine prospects for sustainable development South Africa’s reliance on coal-fired power generation has necessitated urgent focus on an inclusive just transition. A just transition to a low-carbon economy will benefit all South Africans by driving economic growth creating jobs and increasing energy security while addressing the serious threat of climate change. The country’s economy is highly carbon intensive; considered to be in the top fifteen global emitters in 2020 and the highest emitter in Africa in 2022.
