Jun 4, 2020, 07:21 AM by System

Food safety is a priority by the government of Tajikistan. In commemoration of the day, the government plans to roll-out a comprehensive communications campaign with the purpose to: (i) raise awareness of the population on the WHO five keys to safer food; promote food safety as everyone’s business; improve food safety in markets and outlets; strengthen intersectoral collaboration; convene government agencies to take necessary policy decisions to strengthen the national food safety system.

With the support of WHO, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection (MoHSP) is developing different TV and radio programmes dedicated to World Food Safety Day 2020. The programmes will be broadcasted through the national television channels Tojikiston, Safina, Jahonnamo, Bahoriston, and Farhang, Tandurusti as well as Vatan radio channels. The programmes will be repeatedly broadcasted within a week. This will include short videos to promote the WHO Five Keys to Safer Food in Tajik.

The MoHSP also plans to print and distribute WHO/FAO information materials for World Food Safety Day including the Tajik version of the poster “Food safety is everyone’s business” through primary health care centers (PHC) in the Capital city, Dushanbe. Other information materials and videos in Tajik will be distributed through social networks of MoHSP, Khovar, Asia-plus, etc.

At the heart of the Codex mandate are the core values of collaboration, inclusiveness, consensus building and transparency. Governmental and non-governmental, public and private organizations alike play a vital role in ensuring Codex texts are of the highest quality and based on sound science.

Codex would have little authority in the field of international standard setting if it did not welcome and acknowledge the valuable contributions made by observers. Expert technical bodies, industry and consumer associations contribute to the standard-setting process in a spirit of openness, collaboration and transparency.

Intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can apply for observer status in Codex in order to attend and put forward their views at every stage of the standard-setting process.

Codex and Observer

Food is a sensitive commodity, which has travelled
around the world since ancient times.
We might not always know where it comes from,
but we expect it to be available, safe and of good quality.
