Since 2017, the branch of the RSE at the RPE “National Center for Expertise” under the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the city of Astana has been the coordination center of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the GMO Platform of the FAO. 

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) oversees the development of biotechnologies in agriculture, namely genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This organization has an online platform in which countries enter their information on the availability or development GMO 

FAO GM is an online platform designed to inform members of the Codex Alimentarius Commission about the safety analyzes of foods derived from recombinant plant DNA registered in accordance with the Codex protocol on the conduct of safety analyzes of food derived from recombinant plant DNA.

As of 28 February 2014, a total of 131 countries have nominated platform coordinators and 119 countries have been registered. 

FAO's goal is for all 193 countries to be registered by the end of 2018. In addition, 59 countries have completed their country profile page, and the platform now contains 297 entries.Each country is responsible for the accuracy of their information provided in the platform.
Kazakhstan’s participation in this online platform will allow us to improve monitoring of GMOs, increase efficiency, participate in the development of GMOs worldwide, improve the safety of agricultural products and, in the future, assist in improving agricultural and rural development. 
FAO creates and disseminates a critical global public good – information on food, agriculture and natural resources. Also acts as a liaison between various partners with authoritative knowledge and experience, and facilitates dialogue between those who have knowledge and those who need it. By transforming knowledge into action, FAO promotes mutually beneficial links between local, national, regional and global initiatives.
