Also available in:
No results found.Enhancing food control has never been more important for the small island nation of Kiribati In the face of COVID 19 and its associated health and economic impacts, this project was designed to facilitate the efficiency of agrifood value chains Although the country has been a member of Codex Alimentarius ( since 1990 some gaps and challenges were identified after earlier projects related to food safety were concluded The main issues were related to the lack of tracing procedures on food disease outbreaks or contamination, inadequate consumer knowledge on food security, lack of a national database of food premises, insufficient numbers of food inspection officers, training and experience in food safety issues, lack of access to adequate resources, facilities, equipment, transportation, communication systems and supplies for delivery of food inspection services For this reason, it was recommended to build a central integrated laboratory as more efficient and cost effective way to provide analytical capacity for regulatory enforcement However, ten years were estimated for its completion, requiring significant resource mobilization and investment from public and private sectors. -
MeetingThe need to build the capacity of consumer organisations for improved participation in Codex 2001
Also available in:
No results found.The role consumer organisations can have in strengthening the capacity and effectiveness of food safety and control systems in developing countries cannot be underestimated. From the standards setting process to the monitoring of foods in the marketplace, consumer organisations provide a critical yet neutral voice in supporting government efforts to improve the safety consumers face in the market place. Their involvement furthers consumer confidence in government systems and processes. Howe ver for them to play their full role, more work is needed to build the capacity of these organisations and also ensure their voice is heard within policy making processes. Consumers International has been successful in strengthening consumer organisations' ability to contribute to food safety issues. However these efforts need to be supported directly by Codex Alimentarius. Consumers International acknowledges the trust proposed by both FAO/WHO and are hopeful that some of the proceeds from this fund will be used to address the issues on capacity building of consumer organisations raised by this paper. -
