On 13-16 December 2016 the Chemistry First attended a workshop in Nairobi, Kenya on Harmonisation of Chemistry Methods for the Analysis of Fortified Foods. The workshop was organised by ECSA HC and GAIN Health with financial support of USAID.
Steering committee of the workshop - Phillip Makhumula (facilitator), Cyprian Kabbis (coordinator), Carol Tom (consultant), Corey Luthringer (GAIN organiser), Doreen Marandu (ECSA HC organiser) and Aziz Mukota (coordinator) with Alex Oglobline (CF) in the middle.
It was a great experience to meet the delegates from 13 African countries, the chemistry elite, many with Doctorate Degrees from the leading American, Australian and European universities.
The workshop was very intense and focused on updating the ECSA’s existing manual of analytical chemistry methods and on developing a roadmap for the regulatory approval of new methods and instruments.
