Synopsis (short abstract) This report presents the proceedings of the two and a half day kick-off activity conducted by the Philippine College of Veterinary Public Health (PCVPH) as the FAO Service Provider for the pilot project “Development of national food safety indicators with a One Health Approach”. Fifty-eight participants representing various interests of the government and the private sector attended the consultation-workshop to learn about the concept of measuring food safety, using as indicative list the 40 food safety indicators (FSIs), otherwise called “priority areas”, identified in the Asia-Pacific Regional Consultation held in Singapore in 2017. After doing sequential workshop sessions, the participants selected five (5) priority areas which will henceforth be evaluated as to measurability and possibility to serve as the initial set of at least three (3) national FSIs. The concept of food safety culture was also introduced to the participants.

The report presents the proceedings of the two and a half day kick-off workshop on “Development of national food safety indicators (FSIs) with a One Health Approach” organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with its service provider Khesar Gyalpo University of Medical Sciences of Bhutan (KGUMSB) collaboration with Bhutan Agriculture and Food Regulatory Authority (BAFRA), Ministry of Agriculture and Forests (MoAF), Royal Government of Bhutan. Thirty-eight participants from BAFRA, MoAF, Technical Working Group (TWG) representing various agencies for the development of FSIs and relevant stakeholders attended the consultation workshop to understand the concept of measuring food safety, using the 40 FSIs identified during the regional consultation on food safety indicators for Asia and the Pacific held from 6-8 December, 2019 in Singapore. Following group discussions facilitated by Dr Masami Takeuchi Food Safety Officer of FAO, the workshop identified four priority areas which will be piloted as to determine its measurability and possibility to serve as the initial set of national FSIs. The outcomes and perception of Bhutan’s experience of implementing the pilot project on development of national FSIs will be shared with other countries in the region. The concept of food safety culture was also introduced to the participants, which will be further advocated to high-level policy makers to garner their support in promoting food safety culture among the food processors, regulators and consumers.
