Food safety is increasingly becoming a global challenge both by virtue of its public health impact as well as its economic and political implications. Malaysia has established the National Food Safety and Nutrition Council in 2001, a multi- sectoral forum to set clear policies and strategies for the continuous improvement of the food safety programme. This Council is chaired by the Honorable Minister of Health and formulates policy on food safety and nutrition, which will be integrated, with oth er national policies to address, amongst others, health, economic and trade issues. The National Food Safety Policy was formulated in 2002 and it aims at providing direction to all stakeholders in establishing and implementing food safety measures, through collaborative efforts to safeguard human health. To effectively implement the National Food Safety Policy in a more coordinated and integrated manner, a National Plan of Action on Food Safety had also been formulated in 2002. The action plan c learly defines the role of each stakeholder and its successful implementation will depend on the support and commitment of all the relevant government agencies and stakeholders.

Assessing food safety is the first step in securing food safety. FAO will support the government of Uganda in conducting a food safety assessement so that the government can develop strategic plans to improve food safety in the country based on solid data. The process will support Uganda in enhancing food safety standards and open trade opportunities, while enhancing harmonization of food standards in the country and in the region.
