HOW CAN EFFICIENT NATIONAL COORDINATION FOR GHS IMPLEMENTATION BE ENSURED?
In order to ensure efficient national coordination for GHS implementation, it is helpful to establish a coordinating infrastructure to frame the development of a GHS implementation strategy. The infrastructure ensures the communication between the sectors concerned and between the stakeholder groups. In order to ensure the coordination of the many tasks and activities involved in strategy development, it may be useful to form a national GHS coordination and implementation committee which can include the representatives of stakeholder groups and government ministries representing industrial workplace, agriculture, transport, and consumer product. The committee can elaborate a work plan outlining project activities and dates as well as the budget for the development of implementation strategy. Additional subcommittees for the sectors or for cross sectoral issues such as awareness raising, legislation and/or emergency response may be formed as appropriate.
