During a meeting of AFROFOODS in Dakar (June 2000) sub-regions were re-divided based on language, food culture, availability, and distribution. These sub-regions include the Eastern, Central, and Southern African Food Composition Data System (ECSAFOODS), the Western African Food Composition Data System (WAFOODS), Central African Food Composition Data System (CAFOODS), and the Northern African Food Composition Data System (NAFOODS) (FAO INFOODS,2013). A plan of action at national, sub-regional and international level was established, and various working groups were appointed.
