Issue and opportunities for RDA harmonization within the SEA redion were first raised during the First Regional Forum and Workshop"RDAs: Sientific Basic and Future Directions", held in Singapore in March 1997. A regional review on RDAs in SEA showed general similarities for the diffrent RDAs, althroughin some case a country listed an exceptionally high or low RDA for a particular nutrient for a specific group. it also revealed diffrences in physiologic grouping and reference body weights, nutrients included and units of expression. Realizing these differences in RDA components between countries which make technical composition different, a consensus on the need for regional collaboration and harmonization of RDAs was reached by participants from indonesia, Malaysia, Philipines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Afollow-up workshop was organized to work towards agreement throughout the region on common approaches, consepts and terminologies; application and uses, format and a research agenda. Round table discussion were held to arrive at specific recommendations for achieving harmonization. While divergence in opinions were expected, some celar-cut agreement were settled. Globalization envisions to acheve economic growht and development, with the effects expected to ripple through health, nutrition and welfare improvement. The harmonization of RDAs in SEA seek to reach this vision by strengthening R and D capbilities ( both logistic and manpower) within the region and within the countries in the region, as well as harmonizing the effort of government and industry within the region to reduce potential trade barriers such as those relating to food nutrion quality assurance standards
