WHO launches a new Food Safety Community of Practice
A new WHO Food Safety Community of Practice (COP) will help share knowledge and improve practice on food safety issues. The peer-to-peer online knowledge forum will serve professionals globally who want to improve food safety throughout the food value chain, who seek to deepen their knowledge and expertise in this area and who wish to exchange information and discuss ideas by interacting on an ongoing basis.
The COP aims to expand learning potential, share diverse experiences and knowledge, encourage an understanding of new perspectives, and stimulate individual and collective learning. This functional and active community of practitioners will serve to streamline and expand quality technical information over time.
The Community of Practice will also help members exchange and develop knowledge and improve the practice; learn first-hand from experts at regular events; access updates on WHO food safety resources and new publications, and share lessons learned and knowledge based on collective reflection of its members.
Members will receive access to regular webinars, monthly updates and food safety resources. They will also be able to submit their own resources, event announcements and other content on food safety to be shared with other members of the Community of Practice.
