Abstract

Background: Persistent challenges of fragmented, food safety management in low- and middle-income countries underscore the need for more robustly coordinated mechanisms. National food safety technical working groups, operating under a One Health framework, offer potential in streamlining coordination efforts to effectively address these challenges. However, more clarity regarding their formation and functioning is important for understanding how to best establish and support such groups. The aim of this study is to systematically document the development process of established groups in Vietnam and Ethiopia.

Methods: We assess the process used to establish and support the technical working groups against six critical success factors for multisectoral collaboration: drive change, define, design, realise, relate, and capture success. To do so, we review meeting minutes, Terms of Reference, and other related publications.

Results: The analysis underscores the importance of financial and technical support by development partners in initiating working groups while also highlighting the challenge posed by the absence of legal frameworks to secure government commitment. Embedding the technical working groups within existing government structures - such as One Health platforms - from the outset could help to ensure the active participation and sustainability of such groups.

Conclusion: Both Vietnam and Ethiopia have established operational and institutionalized technical working groups to bolster national food safety efforts under a One Health framework. The approaches employed in these countries could serve as valuable models for others seeking to establish comparable multisectoral collaborative mechanisms to address emerging health risks.

一个健康 "框架内的食品安全技术工作组如何开展工作?越南和埃塞俄比亚的经验。
背景:在中低收入国家,食品安全管理长期存在各自为政的问题,这突出表明需要建立更有力的协调机制。在 "一个健康 "框架下运作的国家食品安全技术工作组有可能简化协调工作,有效应对这些挑战。然而,要了解如何以最佳方式建立和支持此类工作组,就必须进一步明确工作组的组建和运作。本研究旨在系统地记录在越南和埃塞俄比亚建立的小组的发展过程:方法:我们根据多部门合作的六个关键成功因素,即推动变革、定义、设计、实现、联系和获取成功,来评估建立和支持技术工作组的过程。为此,我们查阅了会议记录、职权范围和其他相关出版物:结果:分析强调了发展伙伴在启动工作组方面提供资金和技术支持的重要性,同时也突 出了缺乏确保政府承诺的法律框架所带来的挑战。从一开始就将技术工作组纳入现有的政府机构--如 "一个健康 "平台--有助于确保这些工作组的积极参与和可持续性:结论:越南和埃塞俄比亚都建立了业务化和制度化的技术工作组,在 "一个健康 "框架下加强国家食品安全工作。这些国家所采用的方法可以作为其他国家寻求建立类似的多部门合作机制以应对新出现的健康风险的宝贵典范。
