Workshop on Developing National Food Control Policy
The Ministry of Agriculture, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), held an inception workshop in Asmara on 10 July aimed at developing a National Food Control Policy.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Tekleab Mesghena, Director General of the Regulatory Services Department at the Ministry of Agriculture, stated that the workshop marked a continuation of and milestone in efforts made over the past years to coordinate all stakeholders involved in food safety and control. He noted that the ultimate goal is to draft a National Food Control Policy for Eritrea. Mr. Tekleab further stated that the policy, being developed in coordination with the FAO and national and international stakeholders, would serve as a guide for drafting a national food law.
Ms. Ariella Glinni, FAO Representative in Eritrea, commended the Government of Eritrea for its efforts and commitment to building a food system that ensures the safety and quality of food for its citizens. She emphasized that, beyond its technical importance, the policy process represents a national commitment to safer food, healthier families, stronger institutions, and greater confidence in the systems connecting farms, fisheries, markets, households, and communities.
Ms. Glinni concluded by outlining the strategic processes through which the policy will be developed and reaffirmed the FAO’s unwavering support until the policy process is finalized.
During the inception workshop, national and international experts and consultants delivered presentations on the current status of food control operations in Eritrea, a situational analysis of food laws and control systems, international best practices, and the main elements of policy design for Eritrea.
The participants held an in-depth discussion on the papers presented. #Eritrea

What an incredible evening with the Eritrean Association in Greater Seattle!
I had the privilege of meeting with the Association's board members and community leaders to discuss local, national, and international issues, learn more about Eritrea, and experience its rich culture and outstanding cuisine.
In 20+ years in politics, I can honestly say I've rarely met a group that was as professional, welcoming, thoughtful, and engaged. Their impressive Cultural & Community Center is a true reflection of their vibrant community.
I believe this is the beginning of a long friendship, and I look forward to working together for years to come. Thank you for your incredible hospitality! 🇪🇷
ERITREA: THE CONVERSATION ACROSS TIME
Yesterday Speaks. Today Listens. Tomorrow Waits.
A June 20 Reflection on Memory, Responsibility, and the Future
By Abraham Gebremichael
Every nation carries a conversation.
Some conversations last for years.
Others last for generations.
Eritrea's conversation has traveled across time.
It began long before us.
And it will continue long after we are gone.
Today, we stand between Yesterday and Tomorrow.
Behind us stand the voices of those who sacrificed.
Before us waits the promise of those yet to come.
And between them stands our generation.
Listening.
Learning.
Deciding.
The voices behind us rise from the mountains, villages, and memories that shaped our nation.
They are the voices of mothers who waited.
Fathers who endured.
And martyrs who dreamed of a future they would never see.
They ask only one question:
"What will you do with what we have given you?"
The freedom we inherited was never meant to be the destination.
It was the bridge.
A bridge connecting sacrifice to opportunity.
Memory to responsibility.
Past to future.
And as we cross that bridge, another voice emerges.
The voice of a child asking:
"What kind of Eritrea are you building for me?"
The answer cannot be found in speeches.
It must be found in action.
In the teacher who inspires.
In the farmer who cultivates.
In the worker who serves.
In the artist who creates.
In the young person who chooses purpose over indifference.
A nation grows when its people grow together.
The greatest monument to sacrifice is not built from stone.
It is built from knowledge.
Every classroom becomes a bridge between generations.
Every lesson becomes a seed planted for tomorrow.
And wherever Eritreans may be, near or far, the conversation continues.
Distance never erased belonging.
Home remains not only a place.
But a responsibility.
History now turns toward us and asks:
"What will your generation leave behind?"
The answer is not found in words.
The answer is found in what we build.
The answer is found in unity.
In service.
In hope.
The answer is found in us.
One day, future generations will walk the roads we build, study in the schools we strengthen, and live within the future we leave behind.
That is why this conversation matters.
Yesterday carried the torch through sacrifice.
Today carries it through responsibility.
Tomorrow will carry it through possibility.
And so the conversation continues.
The story continues.
Eritrea continues.
And the future is being written by us.
Glory to our martyrs. Strength to our people.
#EritreanMartyrsDay
Today, we honor the brave sons and daughters of #Eritrea who gave their lives for our freedom and sovereignty. Their sacrifice is the foundation of our nation and their legacy lives on in every generation. Eternal glory to our martyrs. 🕯️🇪🇷
“#Eritrea is a gift of our martyrs; building a developed #Eritrea is our gift back to them.” 🇪🇷🕯️

Profile Q & A - Eritrea: A Model of a Primary Health Care System; Professor Mohamed Yakub Janabi, WHO Regional Director for Africa
Senior Officials (visiting and resident) of UN Development Agencies in Eritrea invariably portray a balanced, nuanced, and positive account of the development challenges and prospects as the interview (link below) illustrates.
*"...Eritrea’s model of largely free or highly subsidized health care is rooted in very strong principles of health equity. It is a notable achievement. However, any free or highly subsidized program usually faces financial, structural, and system-level challenges. To sustain it, the government must work on expanding physical infrastructure and domestic financing. If you want to maintain it, you have to sustain it, and to sustain it, you need a very stable financing process – whether through tax collection and subsidizing the health budget, or by increasing the health budget directly".
*"...I think that with more investment in health – and health has never been a cost; it is an investment that pays back quickly – if you have a healthy community and a healthy population, your people will be more productive. I was very impressed with this initial stage. Eritrea has 98% immunization coverage – you see that level in developed countries. Thus, investment in health is not a cost; in the long run, it contributes to the economic development of any country".
