3 DELIBERATIONS ON DRAFT EAST AFRICAN STANDARDS
3.1 Background
During the 14th meeting of the EASC held in Arusha-Tanzania from 13th to 14th May 2010, it was noted that the East, Central and Southern Africa Health Community Secretariat (ECSA) had been requested by national governments to promote food fortification as a means to addressing micronutrient deficiencies that were reportedly widespread in the region. The committee agreed to develop East African Standards for key staple foods as a means to support food fortification in the regions. It was also observed that ECSA was committed to support the standards work.
During the 15th EASC meeting held in Arusha-Tanzania from 2nd to 3rd June 2011, it was reported that through the support provided by ECSA, a working group consisting of Uganda, Kenya, and Zambia had been convened in April 18th – 18th, 2011 in Moshi, Tanzania and had drafted working drafts for fortified food standards namely: fortified wheat flour, maize flour,
Page 2 of 4
edible oil and sugar basing on ECSA Food Fortification Guidelines1 and current East African standards or drafts standards as applicable. It was also noted that a draft revised standard was also produced for iodised salt.
The EASC agreed that the drafts standards be circulated to Partner States for national consultations which would be supported by ECSA. It was also noted that ECSA would support an EAS Technical Committee meeting to review comments from Partner States with objective of finalizing Draft Standards.
Between July 2011 and September 2011 ECSA supported national consultations in the EAC Partner States where national stakeholders reviewed the draft standards. The EAS technical Committee meeting will now review Partner State comments with a view to agreeing on final draft standards which will be further processed for approval in accordance with EAC procedures.

The draft was circulated by Uganda for Partner state consultations. The draft will now be considered for processing into final draft East African standards.
