Chadian authorities are planning a national event to celebrate World Food Safety Day. A full-day conference and broader media campaign are planned for 7 June, which event organizers, Cabinet d’Expertise Six Sigma, hope will connect with agri-food sector actors and with consumers on the importance of food safety. “This day will be an opportunity to raise public awareness and encourage people to take action to prevent, detect and manage foodborne risks,” they said.

The N'Djamena-based conference will discuss a number of themes, including:

• The World Food Safety Day slogan, “Food safety is everyone's business”
• Food safety and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
• Food safety as a public health issue
• Challenges and perspectives on food safety for SMEs in Chad
• Food quality within agri-food companies

Representatives from FAO, WHO and WFP have been invited to contribute to the discussions.

In addition, there are plans to reach a wider public through nationwide TV and radio announcements and public information leaflets.
