• Uganda Industrial Research Institute (UIRI) • National Drug Authority (NDA) • Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) • Uganda Consumer Protection Association (UCPA) • Food Sciences and Technology Department/Makerere University • Food Bioscience Research Center – NARL • Private sector represented by Mukwano, Bidco, Maganjo, Unga 2000, Kendo Mills, and Ntake. In addition, several development partners regularly attend meetings. The partners— foremost UNICEF, GAIN, and A2Z—provide various types of support to different fortification program activities, including: • National advocacy and communications campaigns for promoting good health, good nutrition, and fortified food consumption, • Technical assistance in developing the regulatory system for fortification, • Technical and financial assistance for the food consumption survey currently being conducted by the Food Sciences and Technology Department of Makerere University, and • Technical assistance in working with the private sector, conducting industrial assessments and trials, and training in quality assurance and quality control. As Figure 3.2 shows, the food regulatory system of Uganda involves many agencies. From the fortification program’s perspective, the most important food regulatory system actors are: • National Working Group on Food Fortification—which includes more than 20 partners, including nine different government agencies, • Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS), • National Drug Authority (NDA), • Uganda Industrial Research Institute (UIRI), and • Ministry of Health’s local (district level) food inspectors. 12
