Belize in Central America- in need of a Safe Community programme? In a meeting at the PAHO/WHO office in Belize City August 21st, the prerequisites for possible development of a Safe Communities pro-gramme were discussed. For WHO CC Professor Leif Svanstrm participated and from PAHO/WHO there were Dr. Beverley Barnett, Coun-try Representative and Ms. Sandra Jones, Technical Advisor for Health Promotion. This small country, almost 30 years of age as an independent state, has only about 300,000 inhabitants. Despite chal-lenges to the economy, the country is labelled as middle-income, with production of oil, sugar, fish, and tourism. Aver-age health is good and health services relatively well organised. However, the main program on injury is related to traf-fic safety and prevention of road traffic injuries; the program was revitalized after the World Health Day focus on this area a few years ago. The most realistic future has to start with one priority problem, but has to involve the multi-sector approach espoused by the Safe Communities concept probably traffic safety, again at the local community level. Working with the health sector on safety promotion is a priority area. Rapporteur:LeifSvanstrm DrBeverleyBarnett
